Salt levels are rising fast in freshwater across the United States, said Stanley Grant, a civil and environmental engineer at Virginia Tech and the principal investigator on a U.S. National Science Foundation-funded project to look at new ways of addressing the problem. It s a slow-moving train wreck. If we don t figure out how to reverse this trend soon, it could become one of our nation s top environmental challenges. ....
