Imagine a Day Without Water is a national day of education and action to pause and reflect on how water powers our daily routines and touches nearly everything we do.

Whether it's drinking water, recreation, agriculture, or public health, today we celebrate that connection and recognize the work it takes to protect our most vital resource.

David Creamer, a doctoral student in Fisheries & Wildlife at Michigan State University, joined the WaterCube NRT Fellowship Program in 2024.

His work focuses on selective fish passage and the management of aquatic invasive species like sea lamprey.

Most of Creamer’s research is done during the spring and summer at Hammond Bay Biological Station. There, he and his team test ramps and design traps to block sea lamprey from returning to rivers after they go out into lakes and feed.

National coverage for a local freshwater project! Smithsonian Magazine features proposed Bubble Barrier in Lansing’s Grand River.

The technology uses underwater air curtains to capture floating plastic before it enters the Great Lakes.

This project is led by the MSU Water Alliance alongside GVSU Annis Water Resources Institute, Meijer, Michigan EGLE, Michigan Waterways Stewards, Michigan DNR, LimnoTech, and the City of Lansing.

Energy efficiency means using less energy to get the same (or better) results. Making simple changes in our daily routines not only lowers energy bills but helps conserve natural resources, reduces emissions, and protects our environment.

Here are a few easy energy-saving tips!

🌡️ Optimize your thermostat: Adjust it 7–10 degrees closer to outside temperatures for 8 hours a day.
💨 Tune up your HVAC: Replace air filters every 1–3 months to avoid straining your system.
☀️ Embrace natural light: Use daylight whenever possible to save electricity.
🔌 Power down: Shut down and unplug electronics when not in use.
