GAINSVILLE — A civil and environmental engineer and an aquatic biologist have established the Chaac water group, which aims to improve wastewater management in Mexico, according to an article by The Gainsville Sun.
Founders Terry Griffith and Janna Owen have focused their efforts on the water outside of San Miguel de Allende in the north central highlands of Mexico, where wastewater is polluting water around the city, the article reported.

Seventy percent of the crops grown with well-water in Mexico are exported to the U.S., since the USDA prohibits wastewater-grown crops.
