- On-Site Assessments: Lead a multi-week on-site assessment at pilot installations, performing infrastructure walk-downs, leading technical interviews, and gathering the essential data needed to validate models.
- Technology Evaluation: Research and analyze a portfolio of innovative water technologies, including advanced wastewater reuse (e.g., membrane bioreactors, MBR), atmospheric water generation (AWG), smart rainwater harvesting, and aquifer storage and recovery (ASR).
