Jurors Selected for 3rd OU International Water Prize

The University of Oklahoma Water Prize exists to honor the outstanding contributions of an individual in the field of water, sanitation and health (WASH). Every two years the WaTER Center assembles a group of experts in the field of WASH to serve as the prize selection jury and to speak at the University of Oklahoma Water Prize Symposium. Previous jurors have come from academia, industry, government and NGOs. This years panel is equally diverse.
