The WateReuse Research Foundation’s Board of Directors approved $1.3 million to fund seven new solicited research projects at its March 8 meeting in Alexandria, VA. Three of the new projects are funded under the California Direct Potable Reuse Initiative, which is a partnership between the Foundation and WateReuse California to support applied research and education and outreach activities that advance direct potable reuse. Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for the new studies will be released in the summer and fall.
