Water Technology and Innovation

  • The Water Sector’s Market Opportunities

    Numerous types of water management challenges pose opportunities for private and public innovators to develop lasting market-based solutions. To accelerate development of solutions, the EPA has identified 10 market opportunities.

  • Using Technology to Tackle Water Challenges

    Forward-thinking applications of new and old technologies for water treatment, monitoring, and resource recovery are helping communities meet their water and energy goals.

  • Market Opportunities at Work: Green Infrastructure

    Green Infrastructure is helping America better manage stormwater and flooding while replenishing natural systems, expanding urban habitat, and providing a means of community revitalization.

  • Water Innovation is a Win-Win

    Innovation - applying new tools and approaches to help solve challenges in water quality, quantity, reliability, and affordability - results in economic and environmental wins.

    To better understand real-world perspectives on the effectiveness of co-digestion as an energy recovery strategy, EPA is preparing to engage several wastewater treatment plants in voluntary dialogs about their experiences. The resulting technology assessment report will summarize their viewpoints on implementation, performance, financial implications, and lessons learned.

    EPA’s Clean Water SRF 2017 PISCES Program recognitions by location.

    The SRF gives states the flexibility to fund projects that address the highest-priority needs of their communities. Eleven categories of water infrastructure projects are eligible for SRF funding as well as a variety of types of funding assistance. SRF assistance is provided directly by state environmental agencies; instructions on how to apply can be found at local Clean Water SRF websites.
