Water Environment Federation releases new Chinese version of "World Water & Environmental Engineering"
Apr 08, 2008
The Water Environment Federation (WEF), a U.S. based not-for-profit technical and educational organization, has released a new Chinese version of its international publication, World Water & Environmental Engineering. Targeting the Asian water and wastewater markets, this new magazine is an expansion of the European version and will be published in conjunction with WEF Publishing UK Ltd., London and Shanghai ZM International Exhibition Co. Ltd.
Published in collaboration with WEF’s flagship publication, Water Environment & Technology (WE&T) as well as the original European version of World Water & Environmental Engineering, all three magazines will work cooperatively to provide up-to-date technical and educational resources to the growing global water quality community. Two issues of the Chinese version are planned in 2008 and four are planned in 2009. U.S.-based Pamela Wolfe will serve as editor of both the European and Chinese versions of World Water & Environmental Engineering.
Headquartered just outside of Washington, D.C., WEF’s vision to “preserve and enhance the global water environment” is the basis for all its programs and activities. This new expansion further supports one of the Federation’s strategic goals of broadening constituencies and developing a greater international presence.
“In recent years we have seen an increase of Chinese companies and professionals joining WEF and attending WEFTEC [the Federation’s annual conference and exhibition],” said Christy. “In addition to informing Chinese-speaking water professionals of the world’s issues relating to water and wastewater, this new magazine will also help WEF better communicate its products and services to a much broader audience.”
