Innovation Program Expands with Online Portal
The Water Authority launched an online forum to solicit additional innovative concepts from entrepreneurs and members of the public. The forum is dedicated to helping the Water Authority identify cutting-edge technologies that will help continue to manage the region’s diverse water supplies. The website is geared towards entrepreneurs and others who have products or concepts that could benefit water agencies, for instance, by improving assessment of pipeline conditions.
