As contaminants of emerging concern, deteriorating infrastructure, and an aging workforce loom, the need for innovative solutions to drinking water challenges has never been more pressing. Unfortunately, the risk aversion necessary to keep our communities' water safe also makes it challenging for new technologies to reach the market. To tackle this issue, Cleveland Water Alliance has partnered with regional utilities to develop Lake Erie into the largest digitally connected freshwater body in the world, leveraging over $5M+ in technical and entrepreneurial infrastructure investments to create a powerful testbed for trialing, commercializing, and promoting water innovations.
