A Collaboration between the UWM’s School of Freshwater Sciences and Metro Milwaukee Sewer District
Buoyancy Controlled Drifter Robot
Goal: Track Combined Sewage Overflow(CSO) plumes of pollution dumped into Lake Michigan from Milwaukee’s sewer system.
Project: Create a vehicle with the ability to track these plumes via external drag force, sensors, and control over
its buoyancy.
Combined Sewage Overflow Plume from Milwaukee Harbor
Researcher/Designer: Jud RigginsAdvisor: Tom Consi
