WESTCAS


The WESTCAS Associates Committee is composed of consultants, lawyers and researchers with principle areas of practice in water, wastewater and water resources. A primary objective of the Associates Committee is to promote research and application of technology in solving problems facing WESTCAS members. This includes providing presentations and information on emerging and applied technologies at WESTCAS meetings, giving testimony to support research, and providing data for WESTCAS initiatives. The Associates Committee also provides financial support for various WESTCAS activities. The strength of the Associates contribution to WESTCAS comes from the variety and number of projects Associate members are involved with throughout the Arid West.
