The Water Research Foundation has selected 12 new projects for funding through its Tailored Collaboration Program, totaling over $5 million in research value. The projects will focus on various high-priority One Water research topics, including disinfection in distribution systems, emerging contaminants, spectral imaging of algal blooms, potable reuse, source water quality and more.
The Tailored Collaboration Program supports regional or utility-specific research concepts by providing up to $150,000 in matching funds to WRF subscribing utilities.
“The WRF match enables subscribers to accomplish more with their research while also benefiting from WRF’s project management and expert review processes,” says Dr. Kenan Ozekin, WRF research unit leader. “We’re also excited to welcome new volunteers to our project advisory committee to help facilitate this program.”
The approved projects not only address the utilities’ specialized research needs but also have the potential for broader applicability across the water sector.
