Here's what trainers are saying about Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals I - Liquid Treatment:

Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals II: Solids Handling and Support Systems is currently scheduled to be published in March 2021.

“I reviewed this manual (Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals I—Liquid Treatment) and find it to be an excellent study guide. I conduct two certification preparation classes annually and my primary source has been the Sacramento manuals - Volume 1 and 2, which I provided to each candidate. My plan is to switch over and use this manual for my classes along with the Trainer’s Kit. My belief is that it would be very beneficial to other utilities throughout Tennessee.”

Johnny McDonald, Operator, Nashville Metro

“After spending time with the textbook and getting a good feeling, I am planning to use them in my one-year program. I plan to develop a curriculum for the first semester based around the textbook. With the volume 2 pending release next year, I am sure I will be using it for the second semester. The course and textbook, Wastewater Treatment Fundamentals 1: Liquid Treatment, are a wonderful upgrade to the training spectrum for operators in our career field in Illinois and throughout the country.”

Ricky Lallish, Program Director of Water Pollution Control at the Environmental Resources Training Center, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

Write for WEF
Authoring a WEF publication is an excellent opportunity to establish your reputation as a water quality expert, expand your professional network, and give back to the industry.

The majority of WEF technical publications originate with our technical committees. The best way to become involved in the development of WEF books and resources is to join the technical committee that are most relevant to your expertise and volunteer as writing opportunities arise.

When a publication is being considered, WEF staff post a call for authors to the relevant committees via WEFCOM, our members-only social network, e-mail, and social media.

Potential authors are asked to submit a resume for review by the project chair. Authors with the most relevant experience will be invited to join the project as authors and others will be asked to serve as reviewers.

We enthusiastically encourage students and young professionals to serve as authors on our publications—the experience offers a dynamic networking opportunity for students and YPs and fresh perspectives for our established authors.

All WEF authors must be WEF members for the duration of the publication development process.
