Water Works!
Call for Abstracts ATLANTIC 2012 ACWWA ANNUAL CONFERENCE DELTA PRINCE EDWARD CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND October 14 - 16, 2012
ACWWA and the Charlottetown conference committee are targeting a top notch technical program for the 2012 ACWWA Annual Conference. Join us in Charlottetown, the Birthplace of Confederation, and tell us how your “Water Works!”.
The movement towards sustainability is perhaps nowhere more important than when it comes to water. Water conservation and green technologies are trends that will continue to grow in importance to the water and wastewater industry. The theme of the 2012 ACWWA conference highlights how “Water Works!” and how through best practices and sustainable solutions all stakeholders will need to continue to adapt to make “water work” and do more with less.
Reunite with friends and colleagues as we share our Island Hospitality and discuss the many issues and challenges we as water and wastewater professionals have to contend with in the production, treatment and conveyance of water and wastewater.
Oral Presentations The Atlantic Canada Water & Wastewater Association is inviting abstract submissions for the 2012 Conference in Charlottetown, PEI.
