Historically, wastewater treatment started as risk reduction for human health and welfare, migrated to environmental risk reduction, and has now matured into resource recovery and revenue generation. Technology and common practices are in place to treat water as a sustainable resource; we simply can no longer afford to use it once and "throw it in the ocean" nor can we afford the liability of not treating water to our best abilities to protect human health and the environment.
Specifics, metrics, and detailed examples, not generalizations and platitudes, about recovery of the "water" from wastewater, profitably. It comes down to dollars and cents, a little math, and common sense, and usually much more the first than the last of those.
Note: This is a live webinar delivered via WebEx. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call client support the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive and students will have the ability to directly interact with and ask questions of the presenter.
Comprehend, oversee, and/or manage the design of facilities to reduce environmental, personal, and public health risk from insufficiently treated potable and reuse water supplies.
Compare and contrast the water quality specifics, operational reliability, environmental safeguards, and public safety risks for recycle and recovery of wastewater as a secondary water supply and as an alternative potable water supply.
Calculate the reduced costs and decreased environmental risks of proper wastewater treatment.
Discover how to discriminate among alternative design and operational strategies claiming to improve safety, reduce public health or environmental risks, or reduce costs.
