Scientists are leading efforts to develop new tools and techniques to improve detection of contaminants in water and assess their actual risks. In addition, conventional sewage treatment plants are being replaced with more innovative plants that use the latest biodegrading technologies.

These innovations in wastewater will require setting standards for wastewater treatment and researching appropriate financing arrangements for the community. Innovations in wastewater treatment can ultimately cut costs by cleaning up and recycling process water, while keeping government waste contamination limits within reach.
