My project was to create a market analysis report for my host organization which analyzed the demand for waste water recycling among three of Washington’s largest waste water producing agricultural sectors: CAFO farms, fruit packers, and wineries. I spoke with various agricultural producers around the state in order to learn how waste water is processed in their industry, and developed key indicators for each specific market sector in relation to their demand for waste water treatment technology.
