As part of Chicago Water Week, which brings together water industry leaders to explore innovations that can help shape a sustainable future, a public conversation among MacArthur Fellows William Dichtel (2015), Juan Salgado (2015), and William Tarpeh (2025) will focus on water technology and pathways for education and innovation. These Fellows’ distinct but complementary perspectives allow for a collaborative approach to addressing water challenges, demonstrating solutions that integrate human, technological, and ecological dimensions.
