In this episode of Making Waves with FWEA, we sit down with Manasi Parekh—environmental engineer, First Coast chapter leader, and mentorship champion—to explore how a childhood flood in Mumbai sparked a lifelong mission to improve water systems. Manasi shares her journey from chemical engineering in India to leading wastewater and pump system designs in Florida. Along the way, she reflects on the power of mentorship, the value of community, and her vision for elevating water infrastructure both locally and globally.
