Technical Practice and Publication Advisory Panel

More than 600 WEF members serve as authors and reviewers on the Technical Practice and Publication Advisory Panel (TPP), developing Manuals of Practice and other technical publications on industrial and hazardous wastes, municipal topics, residuals, and water quality and ecology topics.

The TPP disseminates the state of practice to WEF members and the water-quality community. The TPP shares this information through the following efforts:

  • The development and publication of technical manuals of practice, special publications, and other technical documents.
  • Joint participation with other Federation committees in issues concerning technical practice and
  • The review of documents and publications that relate to matters of technical practice for the purpose of advising the WEF Board of Trustees, House of Delegates, and other Federation committees.
