Mitigating Naturally-Occurring and Human Induced Contaminants in Groundwater
N119/N120 (Las Vegas Convention Center)
	
	
	
	
Naturally occurring and human-induced constituents in groundwater pose an ongoing challenge for even the most qualified water professionals. Balancing the need to provide reliable, high quality drinking water while maintaining cost-effective programs drives the industry to new techniques. Learn how industry innovators are meeting these challenges through emerging research, new technologies, and practical applications. Constituents addressed include arsenic, nitrates, fluoride, and chromium-6 among other contaminants.
This session will focus on solving the quality challenge with practical guidance and reducing the level of arsenic, nitrate, and related threats to human health.
