Wastewater can tell us a lot about the health of a city. Davis is monitoring wastewater to detect potential COVID-19 outbreaks.
This early warning detection system has become an important part of our ongoing COVID-19 response.
On this episode of UC Davis Live, Heather Bischel, assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Davis, and Stan Gryczko, director of public works, utilities and operations for the city of Davis discussed how wastewater monitoring works, what it can tell us about the pandemic, and how is it being applied in the Davis community as part of the Healthy Davis Together initiative.
