INNOVATION AND RESEARCH PROGRAMS

Research and piloting can lead to innovations in water management and climate adaptation.

RESEARCH PROJECTS AND AGREEMENTS - Partnerships with academic institutions support research that advances the science of water management.

TECHNOLOGY PILOT PROJECTS - Pilots that evaluate the feasibility, design performance, and/or cost of new technology to manage water or promote climate resilience before full-scale implementation.

EARLY ADOPTION OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES - Design guidelines, technical support, and permitting flexibility can support developers willing to test new practices, and help drive widespread adoption in the future.
