"Update on Memphis Sand Aquifer Developments" with Sarah Houston, Executive Director, Protect Our Aquifer
Sarah Houston has been pedaling a passion for water communication for over ten years. Houston has a diverse background working in the corporate, non-profit and academic worlds and believes everyone should know the source of their drinking water. After managing a water STEM field trip program in Austin, Texas, she and her husband set out on an adventure with a purpose; through Wander Like Water they used bicycle touring to connect YouTube viewers from around the world with water science. While cycling down the Mississippi River, she learned of Memphis’ unique water situation and diverse issues within the massive Mississippi River valley. Houston relocated to Memphis soon after the bike tour to join the Center for Applied Earth Science and Engineering Research (CAESER) at the University of Memphis. She now holds a Masters in Earth Sciences and continues to learn, educate, and advocate for the importance and quality of the Memphis aquifer.
