116 FRONTIERS OF ENGINEERING demand high-quality tap water over the next century, and new technologies and management approaches need to be developed. In summary, the concept for this session will be, first, to feature the latest advancements in three technologies for producing high-quality water, and then conclude with a presentation on the distribution system, which is the final frontier that must be explored to holistically provide safe water to consumers.
