“Our nation’s extensive water infrastructure has the capacity to treat, store, and transport trillions of gallons of water and wastewater per day through millions of miles of pipelines. However, as our infrastructure deteriorates, there are increasing concerns about the ability of this infrastructure to keep up with our future needs.
As part of our effort to address these concerns . . . ORD initiated a new water infrastructure research program. This program will generate the science and engineering needed to evaluate promising, innovative technologies to repair existing and provide new water infrastructure, and that improve effectiveness at reduced cost.”
