discussions on technology. WATMAN presents the latest in scientific advances and practical applications in the water
treatment field, cutting across a wide range of industries, technologies and functional areas. As the preeminent international
technical forum in the field, the WATMAN brings together end users, researchers, practicing engineers, managers, educators,
suppliers and contractors. It is dedicated to advancing new developments in the treatment, use and reuse of water for
industrial and other engineering purposes. Attendees come to learn unbiased details about the latest applications available in
the industry, get educated on current technology and hold wide ranging discussions with their peers active in water treatment.
The technical sessions typically cover current issues in water treatment. Recent sessions have dealt with:
