| Given the wide range of drinking water sources and distribution practices, great care must be taken to ensure that the safest possible drinking water reaches the consumer. EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) studies ways not only to protect and restore our water resources, but also to help transport clean drinking water right to our taps. |
