WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION ANNOUNCES NEW STORMWATER INSTITUTE

摘要

WEF has established the Stormwater Institute, a new venture to address the growing issue of stormwater and urban runoff. The institute will be housed within WEF to leverage the organization's leadership, breadth of membership, and varied partnerships with federal, state, and local entities responsible for managing stormwater issues. "WEF has been a leader on clean water solutions for many years and has already established itself as a leading authority on urban runoff issues," said George Hawkins, chief executive officer and general manager of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water). "The expertise and engagement of WEF's membership will allow the Stormwater Institute to chart a new course toward a healthier and more sustainable stormwater system not only in North America but worldwide."
