WCIA-TV (Feb. 26) -- Students at the University of Illinois are helping people all over the world get access to clean drinking water. The environmental engineering majors just got back from a week-long trip to Rwanda. While they were there, they met up with locals to see the issues they face first-hand. The wells there are contaminated with E Coli. And the water has too much iron, manganese and fluoride. Students say they want to help in any way they can.
