Improving the Nation's Water Security
Concern over terrorist attacks since 2001 has directed attention to potential vulnerabilities of the nation's water and wastewater systems. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which leads federal efforts to protect the water sector, initiated a research program in 2002 to address immediate research and technical support needs. This report, conducted at EPA's request, evaluates research progress and provides a long-term vision for EPA's research program. The report recommends that EPA develop a strategic research plan, address gaps in expertise among EPA program managers and researchers, and improve its approaches to information dissemination. The report recommends several high-priority research topics for EPA, including conducting empirical research in behavioral science to better understand how to prepare people for water security incidents.

A Review of the EPA Water Security Research and Technical Support Action Plan
The report examines a draft plan, prepared by the Environmental Protection Agency, that identifies critical security issues for drinking water and wastewater and outlines related research and technical support needs. This report recommends increased attention to interagency coordination and encourages additional consideration of current restrictions on secure information dissemination. It further suggests that EPA incorporate the results of their research activities into an integrated water security guidance document to improve support for water and wastewater utilities.
Security Practices Primer for Water Utilities
Among America's critical infrastructures, none is more fundamental to the health and welfare of our citizens than the systems used to collect, treat, and distribute potable water. While security is a widely understood concept, the discipline of providing security for critical infrastructures continues to develop. The objective of this project was to provide utility managers and the water community with a comprehensive, easy-to-use primer on security-related policies and procedures. The study focused on how organizations incorporate security procedures into routine operational areas such as human resources, information dissemination, emergency response, media relations, and community coordina...
