    Key Compliance Drivers

    Nutrient pollution; flooding; resilience; growth pressure

    Nutrient management for springs protection, sea level rise adaptation, and septic-to-sewer conversions dominate compliance agendas. PFAS contamination near military installations is driving treatment upgrades.

    Vendor Implications

    Stormwater and resilience funding are major drivers. Vendors tied to coastal protection and regulatory compliance gain traction faster.
