The research partners of the Central Indiana Water Resources Partnership would like to thank all of the speakers for sharing their knowledge about the emerging issues that water resources managers are facing and providing information about research programs working to minimize source water contamination and innovative processes for treating drinking water. It was clear from audience participation in discussions and the lively interaction among presenters that the conference was beneficial. It is our hope that the presentations continue to be a useful resource. If you have comments or suggestions about the program, please contact us. We hope to convene additional workshops in the future and hope to see you all again. Thank you, Lenore Tedesco, Director, Central Indiana Water Resources Partnership on behalf of the Center for Earth and Environmental Science at IUPUI and Veolia Water Indianapolis. Historically, drinking water quality has been controlled primarily at the treatment plant. As drinking water quality regulations continue to increase in complexity, it is clear that long-term solutions to many water quality challenges must take an integrated approach that includes management of the water supply from source water through treatment and distribution. The goal of this meeting is to bring together a group of experts and interested parties to link the issues of source water management, health effects and treatment strategies as they relate to current and emerging water quality concerns. The one and a half day meeting will include a short regulatory update followed by three half-day topical sessions on the following topics: 1) Disinfection By-Products; 2) Microbial Contaminants with a focus on Cryptosporidium and Giardia; and 3) Taste and Odor and Algal Toxins. Each session will consist of presentations to link source water, health effects and treatment issues related to the topic. It is anticipated that attendees will gain an increased understanding of the linkages between source water, treatment, and drinking water quality that can facilitate an integrated and more sustainable approach to addressing long-term water quality concerns. Who should attend the Workshop: Water utilities and municipalities concerned with providing a safe, reliable and cost-effective water supply for their communities; regulatory agencies, water treatment managers, planners, and engineers, as well as consultants and manufacturers interested in the latest treatment advances and applications; university professors and students interested in on-going research and development of water treatment technologies. Continuing Education Units will be offered for this conference for a fee of $30. The conference is eligible for 0.75 CEU's. Registrants will receive a Continuing Education Certificate from the IUPUI Community Learning Network. The certificate will list the title and date of the conference and will show 0.75 continuing education units. Certificates will be distributed to registrants that meet attendance standards at the conclusion of the conference.
