EPA Announces Two National Centers for Research & Innovation in Small Drinking Water Systems

Yesterday the US Environmental Protection Agency announced the award of $8 million for two technology innovation centers, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Colorado Boulder. We are excited to be a partner with the UMass center as well as collaborating closely with the Colorado team. We plan to share more on our role soon!

"These centers will help strengthen the technical, managerial, and financial capacities of drinking water providers throughout the country.

This research marks a move towards developing transdisciplinary results that will be nationally acceptable and applicable."
