Now, Chowdhury will be serving on one more after being selected recently to chair the Aesthetic Quality and Perceptions Committee. Formerly known as the Taste and Odor Committee, Chowdhury will lead the AWWA’s committee that focuses on advancing knowledge and disseminating information to improve the industry’s ability to understand and solve problems related to water aesthetic.
“Our primary goal is to work with communities to solve their every day water quality problems,” Chowdhury said. “But that wouldn’t be possible without the industry collaboration encouraged and provided by the AWWA. I’m honored to chair this committee with a new focus and commitment to providing even more innovative water quality solutions.”
In addition to chairing the Aesthetic Quality and Perceptions Committee, Chowdhury currently serves on the Organic Contaminant Controls Committee, the Organic Contaminant Research Committee, and the Biological Filtration Committee. For three decades, he has been an integral part of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s efforts for developing drinking water legislation by developing the Water Treatment Plant Simulation Program and other models and tools related to water quality.
