By Steve Spicer — Each new year brings the chance to start fresh, reconsider what’s important, and set new goals. The lull following the rush of the holidays and the shorter days lend a sense of quiet and peace for taking stock, and that’s what we’ve been doing at WE&T.
The January issue’s State of the Industry section provides the details and news to help anticipate what 2017 will bring and takes aim at the topics that consistently spur discussion and action.
Two over-arching themes did emerge:
- the value of collaboration among many and
- the quest to fill gaps in knowledge.
While State of the Industry discusses new leadership, new tools, and new efforts, goals within the water sector remain constant: provide reliable and essential water sector services as efficiently as possible and protect the water environment to ensure its health and sustainability for the future.
Also new this year, a redesigned and refreshed WEF.org provides a better interface for WE&T. Now WEF members and other subscribers will be able to browse issues easily via desktop, tablet, or mobile.
We also added subscriber access to a full e-reader version of each issue dating back to 2010 and created an archive of the extremely popular Operator Essentials columns, which are stored and indexed as PDFs for subscribers to download.
And by the way, those are just a few of the upgrades made across WEF.org, including simpler navigation, easier-to-read text, and stronger search to help you find what you need quickly and easily.
So please be sure to visit the WE&T homepage and Happy New Year from WE&T!
