Muhlen, C., L. Voutsikakis, R. Murray, AND J. Tully. Technical Support Summary, Water Infrastructure Division, Fiscal Year 2019. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-20/328, 2020.
Impact/Purpose:
This report provides a summary of the various types of technical support requests that the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Center for Environmental Solutions and Emergency Response (CESER), Water Infrastructure Division (WID) staff responded to during fiscal year 2019. WID’s research program addresses treatment strategies for drinking water contaminants such as cyanotoxins, disinfection byproducts, inorganic contaminants, pathogens such as Legionella, and chemicals of emerging concern such as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS); along with developing analytical methods for contaminant detection. WID also provides technical support concerning research in the areas of stormwater management and water reuse to improve best practices. In addition hydraulic and water quality modeling for drinking water and stormwater management is another important aspect of WID’s research portfolio, including the maintenance and application of models like EPANET, Storm Water Management Model and the Stormwater Calculator. WID's overall technical response efforts, including emergency response, are summarized and specific case studies are highlighted and explained more in depth.
