One of my professional interests is to visit water and wastewater facilities in the United States and around the world. I also wrote many technical articles for various magazines to describe those facilities as well. Here is a list of facilities that I have been since I came to Texas in June 2019. Click the links to read more about the facilities with lots of photos. All the photos were taken by Dr. Ikehata. This list will be updated frequently, so please come back and visit again.
