Each month in 2022, WEF will focus on a particular topic within the water sector. May's Focus: Biosolids Resource Recovery Biosolids contain nutrients, energy, and carbon that can be recaptured and reused. Careful treatment of wastewater and management practices of the finished product reduce or eliminate pathogens and minimize odors to transform what used to be seen as a waste into a safe, beneficial, and resource-rich product. Join us May 24 through 27 for the Residuals and Biosolids Conference 2022 in Columbus, Ohio.

đ§ Anna Mehrotra, Director of the Wastewater Surveillance Program at WEF, and Carley Truyens in this episode explain how WEF is inviting applications from small utilities interested in receiving free automatic wastewater samplers to help expand participation in wastewater surveillance programs. The use of autosamplers is also discussed with Aaron Anson of Hach and Kaushal Trivedi of Teledyne ISCO, who were selected through a competitive Request for Proposal process to supply autosamplers as part of this program.
đ§ In this episode of Words of Water episode #217, Jane Madden, Senior Vice President of CDM Smith, talks about various aspects of #PFAS including ways to manage the chemicals at #water facilities, their presence in #biosolids, and gaps in #research that need to be filled.
The Water Environment Federation (WEF) is recognizing 15 utilities for significantly reducing nutrient pollution, one of the leading problems for the health of waterways across the U.S. The utilities were selected through Nutrient Smart (NSmart), a collaboration between WEF and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to recognize utilities that have demonstrated nitrogen or phosphorus reductions and developed robust community outreach programs.
There are many ways to contribute to WEF, as well as opportunities for engagement. Here are the means to support WEF financially.
