Water Research Foundation

- Anticipating Trade-offs of Using Alternative Water Supplies  

Aims to provide guidance for utility supply planners to better identify and address the tradeoffs of using alternative water supplies as viable resources in long range planning to ensure water security. Funding: $215,000 – $250,000

- Biofiltration Guidance Manual for Rapid-Rate Filtration Facilities:

 Develop a set of guidelines for design, operation, maintenance, and monitoring of biologically active rapid-rate gravity filters. Funding:  $125,000 – $150,000.

-Method(s) for Detecting and Differentiating Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens (OPPPs) to Determine Efficacy of Control and Treatment Technologies

Develop and/or optimize method(s) for detecting and differentiating multiple opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens and to demonstrate method applicability, suitability, and effective use following OPPP treatment and control options. Funding: $225,000 - $250,000.

--- Note:

 All programs require a 25% cost-share – if interested contact the Research Authority in advance - RA-TEC@trdf.technion.ac.il, 2152/1745/1769 in advance.

--- Collaboration with a US partner is warmly recommended for improving funding potential.
