News provided each Wednesday by the Water Environment Federation.

What is the Water Environment Federation?  The Water Environment
Federation (WEF) is an international not-for-profit educational and
technical organization of over 40,000 water experts. WEF members include
environmental, civil, and chemical engineers, biologists, chemists,
government officials, treatment plant managers and operators, laboratory
technicians, college professors, researchers, students, and equipment
manufacturers and distributors.

The Federation was founded in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. in 1928, through a
grant from the Chemical Foundation, as the Federation of Sewage Works
Associations. The organization's original purpose was to publish the
Sewage Works Journal for those in wastewater treatment. Today, WEF
materials and services have expanded to meet a wide spectrum of water
quality needs.

For nearly 70 years, WEF has guided technological developments in water
quality and provided its members and the public with the latest
information on wastewater treatment and water quality protection.
Federation representatives testify before government bodies, and they
review and comment on regulations and legislation. The Federation also
provides expertise on issues ranging from nonpoint source pollution and
hazardous waste to biosolids recycling and groundwater contamination. No
other group can match the depth of knowledge represented by WEF members.
