Environmental Engineer
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Dr. Terra Haxton is an environmental engineer that has been working on drinking water security research since joining EPA in 2007. She holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering and a M.S. and Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Vanderbilt University. Dr. Haxton has helped to develop water distribution modeling tools based on EPANET that can assist drinking water utilities before, during, and after a contamination incident. Past research areas have included using these tools to help detect contamination, identify the source of contamination, determine grab sample locations to outline contaminated areas, and evaluate response strategies for contamination incidents, such as flushing and chlorine booster injection. Her current research area is developing and applying modeling and simulation tools to assess the resilience of drinking water systems to disasters (e.g., earthquakes, power outages, pipe breaks, loss of source water).
