Water and Wastewater Management
Another goal of the CCWF is to research and promote implementation of sustainable methods of water and wastewater treatment that are cost-efficient and ecologically sound. Construction projects such as traditional wastewater treatment plants can be extremely expensive and damaging to surrounding ecosystems; there are more passive systems that can be constructed that will create the same level of water quality with significantly lower cost and environmental impact. The CCWF aims to promote sustainable water and wastewater management throughout the watershed.
