Editorial

EEC Europe Ltd. is our newsletter sponsor this week. After its new partnership with Devise engineering, the company has ventured into the European markets as one of the leading suppliers of compact wastewater treatment solutions.

The San Francisco Mayor has issued an Executive Directive to ban the purchase of bottled water by San Francisco City and County governments, which according to IBWA, encourages an unnecessary and confusing “bottled water versus tap water” debate.

The MPPE, a technology used to separate dissolved and dispersed hydrocarbons from water, is now being offered across North and South America by Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies.

Featured White Paper
Title Quality of Stormflow Contributing to Downstream Water Supplies
Author Prof. Peter Ffolliott
Company University of Arizona, Tucson
Synopsis
Sustainability of water supplies for downstream industrial, municipal, and agricultural needs is largely dependent on the flow of water from upland watersheds in the upper reaches of the larger river basins in the region. Many of the water systems in the southwestern United States flow only in response to intermittent precipitation or short-term snowmelt-runoff events. Contribution of these water systems to downstream water supplies, therefore, is largely in the form of stormflow. The general impacts of land use practices, both good and bad, on the quality of stormflow from upland watershed in the southwestern United States are reviewed in this paper.
