This program seeks to develop advanced concepts for linking public health protection with water infrastructure sustainability. The program supports innovative and integrative approaches for monitoring, modeling, operation, and management of drinking water distribution and storage systems and wastewater collection systems that can lead to improved water quality and reduced health risks.

One of the priority funding areas is application of advances in design, operation, management, and monitoring of water conveyance structures that incorporate new paradigms such as green infrastructure, low impact development, and water reuse may yield significant benefits in terms of public health protection, energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
