The New Year Has Started, and We Need to Change How We Address Water Issues - First Statement: Water is a Resource and NOT a Waste! This article...

As we enter the New Year, I propose that as citizens of the United States of America and water professionals working to secure the USA's drinking water resources, we make one additional commitment this year. This commitment is to hold to this one goal: "That we as professionals do what is best for America and our fellow citizens first and work to rebuild our weakened communities based on facts, science, and using technologies that the local community can manage."
Concerning drinking water, many of our systems, authorities, government agencies, and institutions have failed the community and the water customer. These failures have been complicated by many anthropomorphic causes, legacy decisions related to land development, variations in the Earth's Water/Energy Cycle, and poor historic land-use planning, urban design, and system engineering.
