The availability of, and accessibili ty to, clean drinking water is a key challenge to societal stability and p rosperity. The availability of, and accessibility to, clean industrial water is also a key challenge, towards its sustainable use in oil an d natural gas production. The multidisciplinary field of nanotechnology ha s matured enough for researchers and practitioners to envision real prospe cts for successful solutions to the contaminated water problem. In my pres entation, I will describe different nano-based methodologies and approache s to lower contamination concentrations to acceptable levels. In addition to published literature, I will draw examples from my research (e.g., cata lytic converters for water pollution control) and from the newly establish ed National Science Foundation-sponsored Engineering Research Center on Na notechnology-Enabled Water Treatment (NEWT).
