Understanding Waste Water Treatment

timfrakes — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:00:44 +0000

Waste water. We all make it. We all need it taken care of. Where our waste water goes and how it is treated is something most of us take for granted. Ok, so waste water might not be the sexiest topic to make a video about, but the wise management of our planets water resources is the most important economic and environmental issue facing life on earth. Plus, the treatment of waste water is actually quite fascinating.

This is a series of 9 videos I produced for the Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP) about the waste water treatment process. I worked with my friend and former ELCA colleague, Stephen Padre. RCAP works with small, rural communities to assist them in improving environmental and community health, developing sustainable water and waste-disposal facilities, increasing the capability of local leaders to address current and future needs and being in compliance with federal and state regulations for utilities. Watch the videos and learn!
