In this episode of Talking Under Water, hosts Lauren Del Ciello and Bob Crossen welcome their new co-host, Katie Johns. The hosts discuss the U.S. EPA National Water Reuse Action Plan and touch on the repeal of Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) language by EPA and the U.S. Army. They also explore the so-called "silver tsunami"—a shift in workforce age dynamics—in the water industry through each of their sectors. Finally, the hosts share an interview recorded live at WEFTEC19 with Radhika Fox, CEO of the U.S. Water Alliance.
