The future success of the Water Environment Federation (WEF) is dependent on one resource: talented men and women who seek to fulfill WEF’s vision. Consider the following:
- “…we must move beyond pure economics in evaluating alternate approaches to water management and adopt the ‘‘triple bottom line’’ approach that is inherent in true approaches to sustainability. Change is needed by our profession if it is to survive, and it must begin with us. Let’s get started!” G.T. Daigger, Ph.D., P.E., BCEE, NAE, Editiorial-2006, Water Environment Research, 78(12), 2295
Our profession is dynamic, and water quality practice leaders constantly work to reinvent our mission. WEF is a not-for-profit technical and educational organization that unites the voices of these leaders. The Federation promotes collaboration between water quality professionals from varied disciplines to further preservation and enhancement of the global water environment.
