Book Description
"EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) Research Plan on Aging Water Infrastructure (AWI) describes a large number of projects intended to improve and evaluate innovative technologies and techniques to reduce the cost and improve effectiveness of aging drinking water and wastewater treatment and conveyance systems. After finalizing the plan in 2007, ORD commenced twenty six research projects that constitute only a subset of projects recommended in the plan. ORD requested that the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) provide early advice in the form of a consultation on the suitability and appropriateness of completed, existing and upcoming research projects, whether additional projects are needed, and the overall scope of the program."--P. 1.
