## Description

The Water Research Foundation (WRF) advances water science by funding research and connecting research findings with practical needs across the water sector. Its work supports solutions for drinking water, wastewater, water reuse, resource recovery, and sustainability, helping utilities address changing water quality, supply, and infrastructure challenges.

WRF offers research programs, grants, tailored collaboration, and facilitated research opportunities. Its extensive project portfolio includes ongoing and completed studies, with findings shared through reports, case studies, articles, and other research deliverables. Topics include climate change, biosolids, PFAS, emerging contaminants, treatment, energy optimization, intelligent water systems, and water-use efficiency. The foundation also provides innovation resources and tools to help water professionals apply research in practice.

Subscribers can access research and related services, while utilities and industry professionals can participate in projects, committees, and other volunteer opportunities. WRF hosts webcasts, workshops, conferences, and events where participants learn from water quality experts and exchange ideas. Through these resources and programs, the foundation helps water organizations make informed decisions and pursue innovative, resilient approaches to water management.
