ES.1 Key Benefits (Use style Subhead 1)

Provide 3-5 bullets briefly listing key benefits of this research project (e.g., Why is this project important? How will this research help utilities and the overall water sector? What solutions, recommendations, or tools does this research provide?) Please make sure at least one bullet is written in terms a lay audience can understand. Key Benefits bullets will be used by WRF to promote your project. If there is a particular graphic produced by the project team that encapsulates a key benefit, feel free to add it here.

ES.3 Project Approach

(150-200 words): Briefly describe how you sought to answer the question. Keep this broad/high-level (e.g., if you conducted a utility survey, mention the survey but don’t list all of the specific questions asked).

ES.4 Key Results

Provide 3-5 bullets summarizing the critical results of the research (more technical, detailed findings)
