The Water Supply and Water Resources (WSWR) conducts research to help prepare the primary and secondary regulations for drinking water and to develop technologies and strategies for controlling waterborne contaminants. The program integrates chemistry, engineering, microbiology, computer modeling and cost analysis to provide effective, reliable and cost-effective techniques. WSWR programs include research on: 

  •   Urban & non-urban storm water runoff
  •   Combined & sanitary sewer overflows
  •   Underground & aboveground storage tanks, and oil spills
  •   Contaminated sediments
  •   Acquisition, treatment, distribution and support services for safe drinking water
  •   Microbiological contaminant sampling, characterization and management
  •   Watershed hydrology modeling
  •   Constructed wetlands

The WSWR operates in-house pilot facilities and conducts field scale research. It works closely with municipal and county organizations that treat raw water and operate water supply facilities and wet weather flow control systems, including: 

  •   EPA's regional & program offices
  •   State regulatory authorities
  •   Other federal agencies
  •   Private industry
  •   The Public
