WERF is seeking research that will focus on institutional issues and governance structures impacting established water, wastewater and stormwater management, and will explore stakeholder-driven solution-sets (of green/gray infrastructure, centralized/decentralized operation and management, and resource recovery) that can drive utility adoption of a broader “One Water Paradigm”. Approaches to a “One Water Paradigm” will be identified along with case examples that promote and encourage paradigm adoption and provide information (incentives) to overcome potential barriers. WERF is collaborating with the Water Research Foundation and Water Quality Research Australia Limited in this effort. Total funding available will be approximately $100,000 (US).
