10. What is your Drinking water Source?
11. Worldwide Water QualityUNDP as of 2006
12. Water health challengesHalf of all hospital beds in the world are full of people who are sick from dirty waterThe average distance women travel to collect water in Africa & Asia is ~4 miles3.4 million people die each year from a water-related disease1 in 8 people lack a safe source of waterWater facts from United Nations water.org
13. Innovation – you are the futureA worker in Dakar, Senegal, irrigates crops using water produced by the Omni Processor.The Omni Processor turns sewage in to bricks and water safe enough to drink and irrigate crops.

15. Water quality standardsDrinking water must meet State and Federal regulations before it goes into the distribution systemFederal – Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)1974 Safe Drinking Water ActState – Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy
16. Maximum Contaminant LevelPrimary MCLsEnforced by KDHEFined if exceedSecondary MCLNot enforcedThis is the goal

18. Water Testing ExamplePurposeImprove public health protection by reducing fecal pathogens to minimal levels through control of total coliform bacteria, including fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli (E. coli).
19. Technology - SCADA
20. Distribution SystemWater mains deliver water from the treatment plant to homes and businessesTrace amounts of chlorine must be present even in the furthest part of the distribution system
21. Chemistry for PipesCement lined steel pipeCast iron pipe with scalingWhen pH is high scaling occursPipe corrosionWhen pH is low corrosion occurs
22. Chemistry for healthChlorine kills bacteria & viruses,like this E.Coli bacteriaMCL for Cl is 4 mg/LA trace amount of Cl must be detectable in water at the farthest tapTreatment puts in Cl to keep the water disinfected throughout the system

24. Water metersWater meters calculate the water you use so that you can be chargedHow much water do you use?
25. Water use in AmericaThe average American uses 88 gallons of water every dayThe poorest countries use less than 5

43. Hydrate YourCareer…Work in Water
44. OperatorJamie BeldenWastewater Treatment Plant Operator City of Wichita(City of Rose Hill pictured)Recycling is more than pop cans and plastic bottles. We recycle water. There is no new water being made, so we have to recycle what we have. At a wastewater treatment plant that’s what we do. We turn wastewater into clean water and put it back into nature to get used by someone else.
45. ChemistRwei-Ying TrefzChemistCity of WichitaWorking in a wastewater laboratory is challenging and interesting. With a wide variety of analytical work needed to evaluate processes and meet discharge permit regulations, you will never be bored.
46. CommunicationsMandy CawbyCustomer Relations DirectorWaterOneWhen you pick a career you want to thinks about what you want to do as well as where you want to do it. Doing PR in the water industry is challenging, exciting and significant. You’re repping the greatest commodity on earth.
47. RegulatorAndrew HareCapacity Development & EnforcementKansas Department of Health & EnvironmentMy job affords me the opportunity to protect both the public and environmental health. I accomplish this by enforcing regulations and providing technical and financial assistance. My job challenges me to develop creative approaches to achieve compliance
48. BiologistJessica MountsFisheries BiologistKansas Department of Wildlife, Parks & TourismBiologists find a balance between ecology and sociology. We connect people to natural resources. I have been drawn to water since I was very young. The mystery of what goes on beneath the surface, combined with the interactions between land and water continues to fascinate me.
49. EngineerJerry BlaineCity of Wichita Engineer (Retired)I help design and build water supply systems. I feel like I’m doing something important for the generations to come.
50. LawDaniel BullerAttorneyFoulston Siefkin LLPWater attorneys help people comply with the law, conduct complex transactions involving water issues and handle litigation between competing water users. I grew-up on a farm in SW Kansas, obtaining and preserving adequate water has always been important to me. The complexity and competition involved in obtaining and keeping water rights keeps my water-law practice interesting and rewarding.
51. Water is a great industry for young people. Water will never be obsolete, but eventually the way we run our organizations and the people who run it will be. We have to keep innovating and evolving how we deliver this life-giving necessity. Fresh perspectives and new voices have value in the water industry.
