One benefit will be a more robust mobile-viewing website. In the chart below, mobile and tablet users still make up a very small fraction of total VWEA web sessions. However, the trend is changing: mobile traffic increased nearly 60% from 2013 to 2014, and now more than 50% of new sessions are from mobile and tablet users. With a launch planned later this fall, I hope the new website will continue to keep you informed of VWEA activities, whichever way you surf the web. Finally, I want to say thank you for the opportunity to serve as VWEA president. I am proud when attendees are impressed with the quality of our events, and I enjoy seeing others’ pride in VWEA. I look forward to introducing VWEA’s incoming president, John McGettigan, at WaterJAM. And, in the future, please keep putting your ideas into action!

Also needed is an early warning system to alert an onset of rapid sea level rise so that a timely response and adaptation is possible. AND, CATCH THE TALK FROM A LOCAL BREWERY Come and hear how the fine Norfolk/Virginia Beach drinking water will be transformed at the new state-of-the art Green Flash Brewery!
