Manuals of Practice of the Water Environment Federation

The WEF Technical Practice Committee (formerly the Committee on Sewage and

Industrial Wastes Practice of the Federation of Sewage and Industrial Wastes Associa￾tions) was created by the Federation Board of Control on October 11,1941. The primary

function of the Committee is to originate and produce, through appropriate subcom￾mittees, special publications dealing with technical aspects of the broad interests of the

Federation. These publications are intended to provide background information

through a review of technical practices and detailed procedures that research and ex￾perience have shown to be functional and practical.
