Our recent presentation from the Israeli company Ayala Water and Ecology, on June 10, was very well-received by a diverse audience of city planners, winery managers, landscape architects, environmental consultants, and others interested in biological, plant-based systems for wastewater treatment. (See more about the workshop in the Events Archive section.) I want to thank the company's principle engineer and founder, Eli Cohen, for broadening our horizons on options that could work really well for Oregon and for sharing his passion for systems that have proven abilities to solve many problems. I also want to thank the other presenters from DEQ, Deschutes County, Clatsop Community College, CH2M Hill, and Rogue Water for their willingness to share their expertise with us and help advance the local project potential. As SPROut is planning for a full conference next year (Phytotechnologies for the Water Environment) that will address these topics in more detail, I'd appreciate any comments on the June 10 workshop or requests of specific topics to cover at the conference.
