DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The Water Research Foundation (WRF) is the leading not-
 for-profit research cooperative that advances the science of water to prot
 ect public health and the environment. The Unsolicited Research Program su
 pports WRF in its mission by funding research projects that can be the cat
 alyst for transforming our understanding of our water resources and our ab
 ility to protect and preserve them in a sustainable and cost effective man
 ner and to minimize impact on public health and the environment. WRF seeks
  pioneering research pre-proposals that will significantly advance knowled
 ge and understanding in protection and enhancement of water quality or the
  water environment and that could fundamentally transform how WRF subscrib
 ers perform their work. WRF also considers pre-proposals that would take e
 xisting research to the next level of completion\, resulting in practical 
 solutions to water quality problems. Those with likelihood to advance know
 ledge and understanding\, and provide relevant information for WRF Subscri
 bers are invited to submit full proposals.\n\nFunding:        max. $
