ALEXANDRIA, VA— The WateReuse Foundation is seeking proposals for a new research project under its Solicited Research Program that will endeavor to help the water industry address the future challenges of water reuse. The project, which is entitled "Water Reuse in 2030 (WRF-06-017)," will document the current status of water reuse, identify future challenges, provide direction on adaptive strategies, and identify research needs.
Proposals are to be submitted to the Foundation's office in Alexandria, VA by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on March 17, 2008.
The overarching goals of the project are to anticipate and forecast the global challenges that will confront water reuse over the next two decades and, by doing so, facilitate long-range planning and the conduct of appropriate research. With the WateReuse Foundation as the lead sponsoring organization, the project will be organized to address the future challenges of water reuse both at a more global level and at the more specific U.S. level.
The RFP and proposal guidelines can be downloaded from the WateReuse Foundation's website.
The mission of the Foundation is to conduct and promote applied research on the reclamation, recycling, reuse, and desalination of water.
