Small Drinking Water/Wastewater Systems Symposium
On January 12-15, 2000, NSF
International and the Rural Water Research and Education Foundation will host a
symposium entitled "Small Drinking Water and Wastewater Systems: Technology for
the 21st Century" in Phoenix. The symposium will address the special challenges
facing small water systems in providing both drinking water and wastewater
treatment. Small water systems encounter special challenges in providing both
drinking water and wastewater treatment. These issues include planning and
managing complex water and wastewater systems with limited funds and small
staffs. Emerging technology is the key to meeting the challenges of the 21st
century. The conference will focus on emerging technologies that are assisting
water professionals in managing complex water systems with limited staff and
budget. Persons interested in presenting, exhibiting, or attending are
encouraged to contact: Joe Cotruvo, NSF International; phone: 202-289-2140;
