Photos from WWAC2016 – awards being given out

After each symposium, the program committee gets together to select the year’s best papers and presentations. In addition to symposium awards, each year the division committee awards one or two volunteer awards.

The winners are then presented an award plaque, provided a reduced attendance rate for the following year, and announced during the following symposium. On behalf of the ISA Water/Wastewater Industry Division and the Water/Wastewater and Automatic Controls Symposium committees, I am extremely pleased to announce our volunteer awards and our winners that we announced at our 2016 Symposium:
