  • WQRF calls for research grant concept papers


    The Water Quality Research Foundation has issued a request for concept papers (RFCP) under its research grant program.  The grant offers up to $100,000 of WQRF funding toward field work and implementation of treatment devices as part of the research.

  • Sustainability Comparison: Centralized Treatment Upgrades and POU/POE Treatment for Small System Compliance to the SDWA


    This webinar is presented by Kaycie Lane, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Practice in the College of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nebraska. She discusses her WQRF-funded study, which examined the sustainability of POU/POE devices compared to upgrades at small centralized water systems for Safe Drinking Water Act compliance.

  • Sustainability Comparison Study


    Assessing Centralized Treatment Upgrades and POU/POE Treatment for Small System Compliance to the SDWA This study examined point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) devices in comparison to improvements to existing centralized systems for Safe Drinking Water Act compliance using a triple bottom line analysis. The study was conducted using data from four very small community water…

  • Emerging Contaminant Removal and Microbial Growth in POU Membrane Filtration and Activated Carbon 


    Emerging Contaminant Removal and Microbial Growth in POU Membrane Filtration and Activated Carbon systems are common point-of-use (POU) water filtration systems. They are used to remove contaminants from drinking water, including trace-level emerging contaminants, as the last barrier to protect human health before consumption. 

  • Cost Benefits of Point-of-Use Devices in Reduction of Health Risks


    The goal of this project is to provide an assessment of the cost benefits of point-of-use (POU) water treatment at the tap in terms of protection from contaminants in drinking water. While POU water treatment benefits have been demonstrated, the cost benefit relationship has not been characterized previously. This study is novel in that a…
