Internationally Speaking…
March 30th-April 5th IWA’s Water Loss 2014, Vienna, Austria
Steve Cavanaugh and Will Jernigan travel abroad to present at the International Water Association’s Water Loss 2014 in Vienna, Austria, March 30-April 5th, a conference which discusses the latest developments, strategies, techniques and applications of international best practices in Non-Revenue Water Management. Steve will be co-presenting with Dr. Mihai Dorus on the “Cross Border Cooperation – An International Initiative for Water Stewardship.” Their presentation will cover the topic of widespread implementation of best practices for water efficiency in drinking water systems in the Dniester and Danube Deltas. Will Jernigan will be presenting an exploration of the notion that we now approach a tipping point in the U.S. for the management and regulation of water losses for our distribution systems. His presentation “State of the States” examines the implementation of water loss regulations in those early adopting states, and conveys insight into which states may be blazing a trail, and which are on the cusp of regulatory or policy reform toward adoption of AWWA best practices for Water Loss Control.
