The DEQ is recognizing Wyoming Professional Water and Wastewater Operator’s Week! 👏 Wastewater treatment plants clean wastewater by creating the right environment for bacteria and single-celled organisms to thrive. When mature colonies of stalked ciliates are seen like the one pictured below, the treatment plant is correctly treating the wastewater. Wyoming's Professional Wastewater Operators skillfully manage their plants to create the ideal environment for these microorganisms to treat the wastewater. Read more at: https://lnkd.in/gfC_3ud3

SDG 6, Loss of Coastal Biodiversity and Basic Human Rights intrinsically interlinked and so is the business houses obligation to promote and uphold Human Rights under UNGP Framework. . Business activities impact the lives of millions of people around the world. They can be a powerful driver of sustainable development, offering access to social and economic opportunities and a pathway to prosperity. However, the actions of business enterprises can affect human rights, and those most affected are often among the most vulnerable. The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) – the most authoritative and widely adopted set of principles for responsible business, endorsed in 2011 – call on both governments and companies to identify, prevent, mitigate, and remedy actual and potential human rights abuses. The UNGPs are not only a guide to help businesses respect human rights in their operations, they are also a roadmap for businesses to contribute to the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. Let's promote Business activities which enable SDG 6 Core Targets to be for promoting and improving Human Rights by water availability for drinking and sanitation with the least water footprint of the ecosystem where businesses are operating.

California's state Water Resources Control Board has signed off on regulations to turn more recycled wastewater from homes into drinking water These regulations allow local water agencies to take wastewater from toilets or showers, treat it, before reintroducing it back to the drinking water system.   The regulations were approved unanimously by the board on Tuesday and now give the go-ahead for local water agencies to plan to turn wastewater into drinkable water through a process called Direct Potable Reuse, with the division of drinking water director of the State Water Resources Control Board Darrin Polhemus saying this approval was a very big step for California, "It really will be the highest quality water delivered in the state when it's done." This will make California the second American state to adopt direct potable reuse following Colorado. It will be soon be pending vote from local water agencies on its presence in cities.   Most of California's wastewater is reused now through agriculture, outdoor irrigation or for facilities where treated water soaks into the ground to replenish aquifers. The new process would take the already recycled water through various stages of treatment, passing through activated carbon filters and reverse-osmosis membranes, undergoing disinfection with UV light, among other treatments, even through extra processes to remove pathogens and viruses more than once. Implementation of the regulations will help to boost the state's water resilience, and reduces water wastage.   #California #wastewatter #watertreatment   This content is jointly prepared by ripple2wave and ZWEEC Analytics Pte Ltd.

Did you know that almost 80% of wastewater ends up back into our ecosystem untreated? With #EarthDay approaching, this frightening fact highlights the importance of improving sanitation and the adoption of innovative sanitation systems in order to protect our already fragile ecosystem. #SanitationForAll #SASTEP #sanitationinnovation #sanitationtechnology

In response to environmental concerns about wastewater contamination, the EPA is updating water pollution rules for slaughterhouses and processing plants. With the new guidelines expected by August 2025, businesses will need to reevaluate their waste management approaches to meet compliance standards. Meat and poultry processors - are you aware of these new guidelines? Please reach out to our water processing team if you need help meeting the new standards: wpTeam@moleaer.com.

The Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) serves the region with a drive to fulfill its promise – to treat wastewater and recover natural resources to protect public health and the environment. HRSD’s vision is to ensure that the communities they serve will have clean waterways and reliable water resources for generations. To further this mission, HRSD operates the Progress Farm, a two-hundred-acre site comprised of cropland, forest, and wetlands designed for research. It has served as a research and innovation hub for the biosolids industry for the last 40 years. The site offers vital opportunities for national and state soil research on a variety of subjects, and now as a research site for U.S. EPA-funded PFAS research. This fall, HRSD hopes to have preliminary research completed on PFAS mitigation strategies. https://lnkd.in/dBPkijYK
