Manuals of Practice

Manuals of Practice (MOPs) are developed by specific task forces of WEF’s Technical Practice Committee using established consensus procedures that are the “gold standard” in the wastewater industry. These peer-reviewed resources cover design, operation, and management topics critical to the protection of public health and the environment. MOPs aid engineers in designing efficient state-of-the-art facilities, assist operators in process control and maintaining equipment, and provide managers with the best technical information for managing valuable infrastructure assets.
