EPA Releases Security Research Plan

The EPA recently released a Water Security Research and Technical Action Plan that identifies critical research and technical support projects in the areas of physical and cyber security; contaminant identification, monitoring and analysis; treatment, decontamination and disposal; contingency planning; infrastructure interdependencies; and risk assessment and communication.

The 56-page publication, developed in collaboration with stakeholders in the water, public health and emergency response communities and peer-reviewed by the National Research Council, summarizes key questions, needs and research projects for protecting both drinking water and wastewater systems.
