A WORD FROM THE SPONSOR
Transforming water and enriching life. At our core that is what we do
every day around the world for municipalities and industrial customers.
It’s why we make it so prominent in the Evoqua story. The members
of the Top 25 share the same tenets as we do – improve, protect and
enable the world’s most fundamental natural resource: water. For today,
tomorrow, and for generations to come.
All of us in the water industry have a long heritage that we need to continue
to share, and ensure we enrich life in the future. More than 100 years
ago, two gentleman shared that same concept and developed a process
to disinfect drinking water with chlorination and filtration. Life Magazine
later cited their invention as “probably the most significant public health
advancement of the millennium” for helping to save countless lives. The
inventions of those two men – Wallace & Tiernan – are still being used,
updated and improving life around the world today as part of Evoqua. We
like to think of them as the inaugural members of the Top 25.
Like those legends, the most important traits of a leader is their ability to
ensure we are pushing the limits, preparing for the future and instilling in the
next generation the same principles so that the foundation is set when we
pass the baton. It is a core part of what we do for our customers at Evoqua.
All of the Top 25 members are leaders similar to Wallace & Tiernan in that
their work is enduring. That is why Evoqua is proud to be the presenting
sponsor of this group of leaders.
On behalf of our more than 4,000 employees across the world,
congratulations to this year’s members and thank you for working together
in our shared goals.

NOT OUT
Votes have been counted and the final results are in.The winner of this year’s WWi Top 25 Leaders is the
immediate past president of the IWA and former chief technology officer at CH2M, Glen Daigger. With four
decades of experience in the global sector, he has witnessed a shift in how water is treated and respected.
Here he shares highlights from his career and thoughts on leadership.
p New challenges: after four decades in the water industry
Daigger is now working at the University of Michigan and
also developed One Water Solutions.
Water & Wastewater International
magazine (WWi): Firstly,
congratulations on winning this
year’s WWi Top 25 Leaders listing!
Am I correct in saying you’ve been
involved in the global water industry
for 40 years?
Glen Daigger (GD): Yes sir. I enjoy
working with young water professionals.
The definition of a young water
professional is under the age of 35. So
I’ve been working in this profession
longer than these folks have been alive!
WWi: Ha! That really gives some
perspective. Four decades is a long
14
WWINTERNATIONAL.COM
time but what would you say has
been your career highlight, if you can
pinpoint just one?
GD: Well the direct answer to that is no.
Since you insist, one of the really great
highlights was the time as the president
of the International Water Association.
It really provided an opportunity to
interact with such a wide range of folks
and learn so much. One of the great
things about the water profession is
you can learn something every day. It’s
a great place for intellectually curious
people.
have become the norm.
Secondly are a suite of technologies
that allow us to take essentially water
of any quality and turn it into potable
water or even better. That’s something
that’s transformational.
On the solids side over my career, a
technology that was disfavoured but
has come back is anaerobic digestion. It
used to be the core – when you go back
several decades – of solids processing
but fell out of favour. Now it’s become
the core of solids processing, bioenergy
production and resource recovery from
the used water stream.
WWI: We often see technologies that
spring up and are called “innovative”
or “disruptive”. Which technologies
have come up over your 40 year
career that have really made a
WWi: So you’ve witnessed a shift
from a disposal culture to a resource
reclamation culture when it comes to
wastewater processing?
GD: Absolutely. We have the technology
WE NEED THAT FUTURE THINKING. IF
WE’RE NOT THINKING AHEAD WE’RE
GETTING BEHIND AS WE MANAGE
WATER.
difference?
GD: I can think about three that have
really stood the test of time and have
really been transformational. The first
one that comes to mind is biological
nutrient removal, both nitrogen and
phosphorus. Over 40 years, it’s a time
when biological nutrient technologies
were first observed and first began to be
implemented in full scale systems and

to do so much; more than we actually
accomplish today and that creates
tremendous opportunities. Again we
need to be looking not only at what we
can do but where we should be doing it
and how we should be doing it. We need
to be bolder in terms of what we can
actually do and how we can contribute
to society on a broader basis.

BIO BOX - GLENN DAIGGER
With 41 years of experience, Dr Daigger specialises in biological wastewater treatment,
treatment process design and water management. His nine patents for wastewater treatment
have helped establish the nation’s wastewater treatment standards in the US. As author or
co-author of more than 100 technical papers,, four books and several technical manuals, he
has contributed to advancing practice within the wastewater profession. He is CH2M HILL’s
first Technical Fellow, an honor recognising the leadership that he provides in developing
and implementing new wastewater treatment technology. He holds a Ph.D. in environmental
engineering, an M.S. in civil engineering, and a B.S. in civil engineering from Purdue University.
He is currently the president of consultancy One Water Solutions recently appointed
professor of engineering practise at the University of Michigan.
WWI:You’re known for talking about
the new paradigm in urban water
treatment. What does this mean and
how have you influenced this over your
career?
GD: The paradigm is this: first of all,
water demand is increasing, both
because of population and economic
growth. The projections are that by
2050 the demand is going to increase by
50% but essentially all of our existing
resources are being utilised. The only
way we’re going to meet this demand
is through increased efficiency, through
better rainwater capture, reuse and then
selectively through desalination. What
this means is from a water management
perspective we need to integrate and
look at water as one water and look at
being more efficient and using water
multiple times.
The second component is that,
compared to the past, we are moving
to a resource constrained planet, and
there are resources in the urban water
cycle. Historically, we’ve looked at
being capital efficient in terms of water
management. The objective function
now is resource efficiency: how we
minimise the net amount of energy that
we use, how we can extract nutrients
and so forth.
My advice to folks would be don’t
be constrained only by what we can do
today. We’re pretty smart: if we can see
what needs to be done and we can see
that there’s fundamental science that
will allow it, then we can figure out how
to do it. We need that future thinking. If
we’re not thinking ahead we’re getting
behind as we manage water.
WWi:The WWi Top 25 series
celebrates leadership and the best of
the best from around the world. What
do you think it takes to be a successful
leader in the global water industry?
GD: It starts with vision: a vision of
how the world can be a better place and
how things can be changed to meet that
p Networking: Daigger says his role as president of the International Water Association was one of his career highlights,
allowing him to meet a wide range of industry professionals
better future. It needs to be matched up
with pragmatic steps and then to start
moving in that direction. I tell people
that a water person has to live in the
“virtual reality” of the imagination. We
need to be imagining the future because
the things we are doing today are
shaping the future.
One person cannot do this by
themselves. It’s about enlisting others
and helping them to see what they can
do each and every day to move towards
that vision. And finally persistence:
never give up. We’re never done in
water - the challenges of 2050 will be
there just as the challenges of 2015 are
here today.
WWI: And finally, is it finally time to
leave the world of wastewater behind
and fully retire? Being such an active
individual I’m sure you’re not the type
of person to sit back and retire quietly
on a golf course all day. So how will
you be continuing your role in the
industry?
GD: As I tell people: retirement is
someone else’s word, not my word. My
perspective is that I’ve moved on to the
next phase of my career. This summer
I joined the University of Michigan as
Professor of Engineering Practice; a
role which fits me to a T. I describe it as
bringing more of the outside world into
the university and also helping to bring
the university more into the outside
world.
I developed One Water Solutions to
continue to work alongside my role in
the University. I look to continue for
at least for the next 15 to 20 years to
basically continue doing the things I’ve
been doing throughout my caree.
WWi: And then in 10 years we can
talk about your 50 years in the water
industry? Not many others can make
that claim!
GD: [Laughs] I’ve certainly been a lucky
person, one that, when you come to
work, it’s what you would have done
anyway. That’s been my experience
throughout my career and it continues
to be. I enjoy every day that I’ve put into
this profession and I intend to continue
that for the foreseeable future.
WWi: Glenn – we wish you the best of
luck continuing to inspire leaders of
the future. Again congratulations on
taking the top spot in the WWi Top 25
Leader series.
