Sustainable Infrastructure for Water & Wastewater
– Much of the drinking water and wastewater infrastructure in the US was built 30 years following World War II, mirroring the increase in population. We cannot ignore the arriving wave of infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement we will face over the next several decades.
Water Related Diseases
– In the United States, the drinking water supply is normally safe. Yet diseases that spread through water are still a very real problem. When there's a water main break or other interruption, or in areas where clean water is unavailable, what should you do? When you camp or travel, how do you lower your risk of getting sick from waterborne germs? How about avoiding diseases that can be spread when you and your family swim or play in lakes, streams, pools, or water parks?
