The 2010 keynote address was delivered by Steven Solomon, an esteemed economics journalist and author of Water: The Epic Struggle for Wealth, Power, and Civilization. Recognizing that freshwater scarcity is one of the twenty-first century's decisive, looming challenges and is driving the new political, economic, and environmental realities across the globe, Solomon shared his insights about the key role water has had in the development of modern societies and the growing issues over scarcity and pollution. He called on water professionals to be leaders in addressing this challenge by adopting a new paradigm of sustainable water management.
The world's largest annual water quality exhibition is a big part of WEFTEC, where almost 1,000 exhibitors display the latest in water quality research technology and services. Eighty-seven percent of WEFTEC attendees are leaders from the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment and water quality markets who are there to see and purchase equipment and services.
