Microbial Waterborne Pathogens
In the developed world, the connection between water, hygiene and health is taken for granted. However, for the less fortunate majority, access to potable water is non-existent and remains a daily...
Disinfectant Decay and Corrosion: Laboratory and Field Studies
The primary objective of this research was to develop and test a pipe-section reactor to measure the decay rate of disinfectant at the pipe wall. The pipe-section reactor is more convenient than...
Evaluating and Optimizing Source Treatment Technologies to Improve the Biodegradability of Organic Compounds
The main objective of this research was to investigate the capabilities of three chemical oxidation processes as pretreatment technologies with the goal of making wastewaters containing persistent...
Development of Molecular Methods for Detection of Infectious Viruses in Treated Wastewater
Enteroviruses, hepatitis A virus (HAV) and other enteric viruses can survive wastewater treatment processes, even after chlorination, and are found in the final effluents.
These viruses...
Creating Effective Information Technology Solutions
Technology offers one of the significant levers that utility managers have available to truly “do more with less.” But it often is difficult for managers to know how much to spend on technology,...
