PWS announced just recently that Lisa Henthorne, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Water Standard, has been elected its President. With four years of service on the board, contributing to the growth in technical programs and member services, alongside her 20+ years of experience in the water industry, Lisa will continue to assist the Produced Water Society in its mission, bringing together oil and gas professionals to collaborate to solve produced water challenges in both conventional and unconventional plays.
Through the discussion of best practices and the presentation of advanced solutions to dynamic obstacles, PWS fosters an environment where water professionals learn from one another in an open setting and where the entire industry thrives as a result.
Lisa commented "I’m very excited to be part of the PWS team this year as we endeavor to further the exchange of ideas and technical knowledge regarding produced water management, to facilitate conversations on the increasing value of water to our industry, and to support the produced water community in these very exciting times."
Outgoing Produced Water Society President, Steve Coffee, Director of Market Development, Exterran added: "I’ve been honored to have led the Produced Water Society for the past two and a half years. As I pass the baton onto a new President and move forward into the Vice President role, I will focus more on the US unconventional market, especially the Permian Basin, and create and lead a Produced Water Leaders Group that will consist of a small group of thought-leaders from oil & gas production companies in North America.
I am happy to announce that the Board of Directors has voted in a new President Elect and I can’t think of a better person than Lisa Henthorne to lead PWS. Her dedication to water issues and her commitment to the organization is just what the Society needs as it continues to move up to the next level. I look forward to working with Lisa to support the Produced Water Society’s continued efforts to rally our dynamic industry around innovation and continuous improvement in the management of produced water around the world. We look forward to seeing how the Produced Water Society develops under Lisa’s leadership."

Antibiotikaresistenzen: Städtische Seen stark betroffen
Ein Berliner Forschungsteam untersuchte Wasser- und Sedimentproben aus mehreren Gewässern sowie einer Kläranlage. In städtischen Proben fanden sie besonders viele Antibiotikaresistenz-Gene; am stärksten belastet waren Zu- und Abflüsse des Klärwerks. Resistente Keime traten jedoch auch in ländlichen Seen auf.
