'Out of the Box'   Water Quality Products December 2003   Carla Fisher and Gregory C. Gilles, AdEdge Technologies
Emerging commercial technologies are replacing the "old standards" for small water system (SWS) applications. In contrast to large community systems, competitive economics, simple operation and low waste production will drive changes in technology and engineering. Some out-of-the-box thinking will be necessary in the shift to provide simpler, packaged or preengineered arsenic treatment systems.

In the Field: Stormwater Treatment at a New Continental Airport Terminal   Water Engineering & Management March 2003
Airports potentially can generate enormous amounts of polluted stormwater runoff. In addition to hydrocarbons such as oil and fuel from cars, trucks and planes, winter weather brings added sand and salt to the roadways. Expanding the terminal area for Continental's new Global Gateway at Newark Liberty International Airport in late 2001 included increasing the paved areas around the terminal to accommodate the new taxiways and roadways. The system demonstrates the effectiveness of applying stormwater treatment technology to an already congested area where competition for space is fierce.
