2023 Fall Seminar Sponsored by: Water Resources Research Center University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa- Water IS Water – not waste! International Options for Smart Wastewater Treatment Decisions
WATER IS WATER – NOT WASTE!
International Options for Smart Wastewater Treatment Decisions
WasteWater Education 501(c)3
For many small communities in Hawaii, the US, and overseas, the central wastewater infra-structure is not always affordable, geologically impossible to construct, and financially unsustainable with local resources.
WasteWater Education 501(c)3, with 21 years of operation, provides access to education and resources that increase public awareness of the link between appropriate wastewater systems and (1) clean drinking water, (2) safe recreational waters, (3) environmentally sustainable surface, and (4) groundwater with watershed-based best management practices.
WasteWater Education emphasizes water resource management and reuse strategies given the increasing impacts of climate change. Extreme weather events impact maintenance, operations and water availability and use. Resource recovery and building ‘smart’ should be prevalent in the design process. Webinar attendees will hear from our Board of Directors, who are international professionals, on how issues affecting Hawaii have been addressed worldwide and how the lessons learned can be put into practice here.
Speakers:
Ben Kele: Board Chair. Director at Arris Water, Rockhampton, Australia Director and co-founder of Arris Water.
Oliver Grievson: Vice Chair. Associate Director at AtkinsRéalis and a Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor at the University of Exeter.

Earth Month 2022
Are we drowning or parched?
It seems we have been talking about a ‘water crisis’ as long as most of us have been in the water business!? THIS is the year to address how decentralized options are the solution.
During Earth Month 2022, WasteWater Education 501(c)3 will be showcasing those solutions.
A review of pilot systems designed to integrate settling techniques, and horizontal subsurface flow in constructed wetlands for the treatment of wastewater.

Leal, physician and water treatment expert who pioneered chlorine disinfection in the U.S. There are many unsung heroes who contributed significantly to public health at the turn of the 20th century.
