Help Josh Keep Going! Please Consider Supporting Josh's Water Jobs!

I am sending this on my own; Josh did not ask me to do so. I know how much effort goes into his site and the impact it has so I thought I would help him along. Below is the same meaages many of you have received via email.

After the generous funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) ran out in December of 2021 that allowed us to build the new website, start the podcast, make our blog more active and make lots of plans for the future, we’ve been skating by this last year making ends meet to maintain the upkeep of the website.
 
We’re now looking to keep the platform going, but also get back to what we were doing in 2021, clean up the site a bit in terms of its functionality and make another leap in terms of what we bring you the jobseeker and the employer. New plans include personalized email alerts, decentralized platforms by (some) countries and regions, webinars, member profiles, gender equity initiatives, and more!
 
The idea is to become self-sustaining, but we are not quite there yet, so we need your help!
 
There are a few ways you can chip in:
 
Donating: The most straightforward way to help us out. You can provide a monthly recurring contribution here. Other ways to donate can be found here. Every little bit does help. Please consider giving back if the platform has helped you in some way, even in saving time!

Sponsoring: We’re open to sponsorship! The visibility is significant, and this website makes a difference in people’s lives, especially young professionals. This will especially be the case as we expand our career development services. Please contact me directly at josh@joshswaterjobs.com.

Featuring your jobs: This is a win-win for organizations and us in that you get your jobs featured on the website, on our social media platforms and in the weekly jobs list and we get your support.

Advertise with us: We do have advertising opportunities on the website. You can see some of the available slots here and here, and on every job page. The latter link gets tens of thousands of views per week. We would rather these come from the water community (i.e., university programs, consulting firms, etc.) instead of using Google ads.

Other opportunities: I don’t think most people realize that I myself find 95% of the jobs that go on the website. It’s a manual search through 150+ websites. As you all know, searching for a job in “water” is not easy. If anyone can help us make a connection with a university department (student project?) or tech firm that could help us design a web crawler, that would be much appreciated. It’s quite complicated, but even something that helps narrow what I look at on a daily basis would be a huge help. Again, please contact me directly.
 
Thank you so much! We really want to make the job search experience better for everyone!

Ethics and Water Revisited - A Mea Culpa?

I wrote this post in January 2007.

How often have you thought about ethics and water? If you are like me, probably not very often, and I am supposed to be a professor on the "cutting edge of thinking" in water. Sure, I have read articles about some ethical issues, such as our approach to water issues in the developing world, water pricing issues, location of waste disposal sites, professional practices, etc., but I never thought much about them. What's worse, in over 30 years of teaching I never really introduced many ethical considerations into my classes, except in a very cursory manner. 

All that changed about five years ago, when I came across a book that enlightened me about water and ethics: Navigating Rough Waters: Ethical Issues in the Water Industry, edited by Cheryl K. Davis and Robert E. McGinn (2001, published by the American Water Works Association). The book is a collection of 24 articles about - you guessed it - ethics and the water world. Davis, McGinn, and the AWWA have done us all a great service. Over the years there have many articles and books about ethical issues in water; what's different about this one is that it is the first in-depth treatment with a number of thoughtful articles and case studies. It covers water treatment, planning and management, international work, water privatization, manufacturing, consulting, "fear-mongering", sustainability, intergenerational equity, and more. It broaches issues that I probably would not have considered "ethical" questions.

The book has some excellent discussion topics at the end of the articles. Some of them deal with trying to decide what you should or should not tell the public about their water supply. For example,if you are a water utility manager and your water-quality testing identifies a "hot-button" chemcial (hexavalent chromium, arsenic, TCE, whatever) in the water but at concentrations well below the MPC or any known health risk, are you obligated to tell your customers, knowing full well there will be a demand to remove it from the water supply when there is no compelling evidence it is harmful? What if the customers want it removed, at an additional cost that will impact low-income customers? What are your obligations?

Let's try this one. Is it ethically incumbent upon water officials from developing countries to adopt and use less rigorous but affordable wastewater reuse standards geared to their countries instead of "importing" those that prevail in the developed world?

The conversion of wastewater into drinking water presents some interesting dilemmas. The book has an excellent little study about NDMA (N-nitrosodimethylamine) in the Orange County Water District's water supply and the praiseworthy approach taken by the OCWD.

What about a foreign, multinational firm that partners with a local firm to present a facade of "local control" to win a contract for a project in a developing country?

The book also discusses the Principle of Intergenerational Equity and the current generation's obligations to the ones following. 

I'm sure you can think of many other situations. I was so impressed with the book that I started broaching these topics in my classes and will continue to do so. I only wish I had some formal training in ethics.

The book costs about $150 and is well worth it. If you are an AWWA member there is a discount.

By the way, would it be ethical to get a friend who is an AWWA member to buy it for you? Just thought I would ask.

So what's the deal with the 'mea culpa'? Practicing my high-school Latin? It's my lack of incorporation of a significant ethical component into my years of teaching. That is all the more inexcusable when you consider the water and environmental focus of my work at all the universities where I've taught. Not much time left - a couple of months. And when I look at all my blog posts dealing with ethical themes, it's more puzzling and inexcusable.

The possible exception might be the University of New Mexico, where I co-developed an Environmental Science degree and developed a Master of Water Resources program. I actually used parts of the Davis-McGinn book in a few classes  

But I did write a short article on 'MAD about an Ethical  Approach to Unsutainable Groundwater Extraction. In this case 'MAD' means 'Managed Aquifer Depletion'

I'd say I let my students down.

Josh's Water Jobs and More! 31 January 2023 > 335 Jobs!

From Josh:

On Thursday, I will be sending out an email that asks for support for JWJ. It has been a very long time since I’ve done this, because we did receive a generous grant from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation that helped us build the new website and add more content (for a time). That funding ran out in December 2021. We’ve been getting by since then, but it’s time that we reach out again for contributions, either through donations and/or sponsorships.
 

For those of you who don’t know, the website stands on us co-founders (Hank and I), volunteering our time (in my case ~15 hours/week, which is crazy, I know) to get the jobs out every week. This is obviously not sustainable (although I’ve been saying this for many years now! 😊), so we’re looking for support to make changes to the site so that it can become self-sufficient through revenue streams. We’re almost, but not quite there with some technical/infrastructure changes (which will also greatly improve the site’s functionality and have other new features). 

1) Josh's Jobs

Just Add Two Eggs, Flour, Sugar...to Puget Sound? (Redux)

Okay - I'm reposting an item from 13 January 2007.  No need for alarm, right?

The January 2007 issue of U.S. Water News Online reports that University of Washington researchers found significantly higher levels of cinnamon and vanilla (natural and artificial) in Puget Sound during the period November 14 - December 9, with the levels spiking right after Thanksgiving. Natural vanilla showed the highest increase. UW researchers (your tax dollars at work) speculated that over the Thanksgiving weekend, the people served by the West Point treatment plant in Magnolia consumed the daily equivalent of about 160,000 chocolate-chip or butter-type cookies and about 80,000 cookies containing cinnamon (not to mention caffeine, some of which was found as deep as 640 feet). The spices could pose a problem for fish, since they use their sense of smell to find food or, in the case of salmon, to find their way back to their home stream for spawning.

I suppose finding spices in our natural waterways is marginally better than the antidepressants, painkillers, birth-control pills, etc., that have turned up in the past few decades. I used to joke about the infamous "nine-eyed carp"; we may be closer to seeing them.

"Water is the true wealth in a dry land." - Wallace Stegner
