Innovative Water Technologies

Our mission is to educate the public on alternative water supplies.

Goals of Innovative Water Technologies:

  • Participate in research and demonstration projects needed to advance technology;
  • Develop publications and educational materials; and
  • Disseminate information to the public through presentations, active participation in organizations, and other outreach activities.

Through our desalination program, we administer grants for brackish groundwater desalination and seawater desalination projects. We promote aquifer storage and recovery, and water reuse through grants for research and demonstration projects and outreach activities.
