# Advancing the Nation’s Water Treatment Technologies Through the National Academies’ Water Science and Technology Board

> **NSF 01002526DB NSF RESEARCH & RELATED ACTIVIT** · National Academy of Sciences (DC) · $249,782

## Abstract

Water is essential for life on Earth. Meeting national water quality needs will require advancements in both conventional and emerging water treatment technologies. This project supports twice-yearly meetings and other activities of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Water Science and Technology Board (WSTB). These meetings link environmental engineering and water quality with national research priorities such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and translational science. WSTB has a unique ability to bring together volunteer experts across science and engineering, and from sectors including water utilities, other industries, academia, and agencies to bridge basic research and applications. The National Academies has a long history providing relevant information and building partnerships to help decision makers in water resources.

WSTB meets a national need of providing thoughtful, independent convening opportunities for water science and engineering topics. This award provides support for WSTB activities that focus on water treatment technologies for water quality, as well as additional discussions of other emerging and relevant topics. WSTB holds twice-yearly meetings that will focus on national priorities such as the application of quantum information systems for water treatment, the role of artificial intelligence in smart water systems, emerging biotechnologies for clean and safe water, and using artificial intelligence to advanc
