Chicago Tribune (March 28) -- A new project, called Current, wants to unite Chicago's entrepreneurs, researchers and utility companies to solve water problems - and fan Chicago’s economic flame along the way. The project will have three focus areas: a research consortium, a network for innovation in water tech and a program to encourage the reuse of resources from wastewater. Other partners include the city of Chicago, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago and the University of Illinois.
