Institute for Water and Health
The Institute for Water and Health (IWH) at Georgia Southern University supports and engages in bridging science and technology to action for a collective vision of safe water, a sustainable environment, and resilient communities. The Institute’s facilities are housed at the Savannah Research Complex, just off the Armstrong Campus in Savannah, GA.
Working alongside community partners, our multidisciplinary team provides the best solutions tailored to meet specific needs. We take pride in our state-of-the-art research laboratories, translating scientific advancements into customized technological tools, and supporting decision-makers in implementing policy improvements that make a public impact. The IWH develops comprehensive educational resources to nurture a well-informed and skilled workforce, building a future where society is better equipped to adapt to ongoing environmental changes.
“Access to safe water is a global challenge. It is directly related to unlocking economic development, improving health, and providing opportunities so everyone has a shot at a quality life. ” - Dr. Asli Aslan, IWH Director
