WATER is the most important and widely used commodity sold in this country today. Unfortunately, the chemical and physical characteristics of a particular water cannot be ideal for all purposes for which it must be used. Therefore, to make it suitable for industrial as well as domestic purposes, it must often be subjected to many complex and costly methods of treatment. Each municipality and each industry has a different situation, which may require modifications of the treatment process. Scientific research and development are continuously progressing toward more efficient and less expensive processes of water treatment. The water works profession prides itself on utilizing the latest discoveries of science and engineering in the thousands of municipal and industrial treatment plants being built or improved each year to meet the increasing demands of modern technology for water of better quality in greater quantities. Evidence of the great strides made in keeping pace with latest research and scientific development is clearly indicated by the tremendous progress made since this Association was founded 76 years
