The Bureau of Reclamation’s Desalination and Water Purification Research Program (DWPR) offers this grant to develop innovative, cost-effective, and technologically efficient methods for water desalination and treatment. The program supports moving ideas from laboratory research to real-world demonstrations, aiming for products that benefit the water treatment community and attract commercial interest. Reclamation seeks research with widespread public benefits, especially where private sector investment is limited, and projects of national significance. The primary goal is to reduce the costs, energy use, and environmental impacts of treating impaired water. This initiative aligns with Executive Order 14008, addressing climate change by expanding access to unusable water resources, thereby enhancing water supply resilience against drought and long-term climate risks.

| Description: | The United States Department of the Interior (Department), Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) Desalination and Water Purification Research Program (DWPR) works with Reclamation researchers and partners to develop innovative, cost-effective, and technologically efficient ways to desalinate and treat water. DWPR funding plays a critical role in iterating an idea from the lab to a real-world demonstration, yielding products that serve the water treatment community and attract commercialization interest. Reclamation is interested in research where the benefits are widespread but where private-sector entities are not able to make the full investment and assume all the risks. Reclamation is also interested in research that has a national significance—where the issues are of large-scale concern and the benefits accrue to a large sector of the public. The goal of the DWPR program is to address the need to reduce the costs, energy requirements, and environmental impacts of treating impaired and unusable water. The program also aligns with Executive Order 14008, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,” by investing in development and application of advanced water treatment technologies that expand access to otherwise unusable water resources, thereby increasing water supply flexibility under the risks of long-term climate change and shorter-term drought.
