Water is essential to all life, and its significance bridges many critical areas for society: food, energy, security, and the environment. Recognizing the unique potential of emerging nanotechnologies to address key challenges in these areas, the National Nanotechnology Initiative’s (NNI’s) Water Sustainability Through Nanotechnology Signature Initiative (Water NSI) coordinates efforts across ten Federal agencies to collaboratively advance the science and identify shared needs, solutions, and best practices. This presentation will provide an overview of the Water NSI, as well as recent and ongoing efforts and opportunities to engage.<br/>The NNI is a U.S. Government research and development (R&D) initiative involving 20 departments and independent agencies working together toward the shared vision of <i>"a future in which the ability to understand and control matter at the nanoscale leads to a revolution in technology and industry that benefits society.</i>
