Wastewater + Green Jobs + Sustainability + High Tech

What’s happening? Waste water is gaining ground as green, sustainable and high tech. Think of how often waste water has been central to disasters during hurricanes, winter storms, and tornadoes. Managing waste water is big business. We have 800,000 miles of public sewers in the U.S. and the 500,000 miles of private sewers.

Why is this important? During COVID waste water was tested to find hot spots for COVID as scientists grappled with tracking the rapid infections.

How will this be important? The future of wastewater is vast… wastewater can allow for methane capture,  microbial fuel cells that make it possible to generate energy
