Technical Focus Areas
Water Quality: Development of advanced measurement methods, reference materials, and reference data for the water measurement community to identify and measure current and emerging contaminants in water such as metals, nutrients, agricultural and industrial chemicals, disinfectants and disinfection byproducts, pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, and waterborne microbial pathogens.
Water Treatment: Development of systematic, quantitative measurements, methods, reference materials and reference data that enable manufacturers of water treatment materials, especially membranes, to improve material selection and design, for example structure-property-performance relationships for reverse osmosis membranes.
Infrastructure Renewal: Development of standard reference materials (SRMs) and data for assessing pipeline condition, enabling effff ective and reliable infrastructure renewal, preventing microbial-induced corrosion, and elucidating correlations between water quality and infrastructure performance.
