WATER QUALITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION


​The Water Quality Research Foundation (WQRF), organized as a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation under the Internal Revenue Code, ​was formed in 1952 to serve as a universally recognized, independent scientific water quality research organization.

WQRF aims to improve water quality through its sponsorship of relevant academic and professional research​ to advance the knowledge and science of high-quality, sustainable water.  Since its inception, WQRF has funded numerous research studies which have generated essential information on water quality ​for industry, policymakers, regulators, and the general public.
