Tech Focus: Water

In 2016, the FLC's Tech Focus theme centered around the water-related expertise, capabilities, and technologies available at federal laboratories. Numerous challenges face our nation and the world when it comes to water sustainability, treatment, infrastructure and disease, and many federal labs are working to address and provide lasting solutions.

To carry out this technology initiative, the FLC planned Tech Focus water-themed activities that took place throughout the year.

Tech Focus Featured Events

There were numerous ways for federal agencies, labs, and water industry professionals to get involved and support this year’s water-related Tech Focus activities. In Fall 2016, the FLC held a virtual forum to advocate the Tech Focus initiative and promote federally developed water technologies.
