PSIPW Specialized Prizes

The PSIPW awards a suite of five biennial prizes recognizing groundbreaking research across the entire water research landscape. These awards motivate research that seeks practical solutions to the diverse water-related challenges the world faces today. The specialized prizes within the PSIPW cover a wide array of topics:

1. Surface Water Prize: Focuses on the study and development of surface water, including water harvesting, the impact of global warming on precipitation, flood control, and more.
2. Groundwater Prize: Encompasses all aspects of groundwater research, from recharge and exploration to contamination and aquifer characteristics.
3. Alternative Water Resources Prize: Targets innovations in desalination, wastewater treatment, and non-traditional water sources.
4. Water Management & Protection Prize: Aims at the sustainable use, management, and protection of water resources, incorporating integrated water resource management and water conservation.

Each prize includes a distinctive trophy and certificate, encouraging the extended research community to nominate cutting-edge research relevant to these areas.
