Research Priority
CFWC research priorities focus on applied research to help public water supply utilities to 1) identify tools and approaches that increase efficiency of existing and projected water use, and 2) identify practices that utilities can implement that will show quantifiable results toward addressing water use efficiency and conservation. Research priorities are revisited and updated each year.
The 2009 Applied Research Priorities have been updated based on the results of a survey of Conserve Florida Water members. The Conserve Florida Water Clearinghouse Applied Research Agenda Update Survey resulted in the new 2009-2010 research priorities listed below.

Information on previous priorities and the process used to develop initial priority research needs can be found in the Conserve Florida Water Conservation Clearinghouse Research Agenda Report.
