Celebrating World Rivers Day

September 27, 2024

On the fourth Sunday of every September, World Rivers Day celebrates the world’s waterways. This day honors the multitude of positive contributions of rivers. World Rivers Day was first celebrated in 2005 and is now celebrated by millions of people in more than 100 countries. This day emphasizes river conservation and sustainable management.

There are many services that McFadden Engineering offers that directly impact rivers as the water treated by these services is often directly discharged into rivers. McFadden Engineering designs its services to meet regulatory compliance. Particularly, when an  NPDES permit must be considered as part of  the system design .

Under the NPDES program, industrial facilities are permitted to discharge stormwater and/or wastewater into surface waters including rivers. McFadden Engineering specializes in evaluating treatment processes across various industries and offering solutions that ensure regulatory compliance while promoting environmental sustainability. Our engineers consult with industries such as food and beverage, pulp and paper, wastewater treatment, oil and gas/drilling and more. Each of these sectors plays a role in affecting the availability of clean water.

McFadden Engineering offers comprehensive environmental engineering services designed to safeguard rivers from the effects of both natural and human activities. Our extensive expertise includes developing best management practices for facility compliance, creating spill response plans for industrial clients and identifying treatment alternatives to meet permitted discharge limits.

Our team values responsibility and commitment to the environment. Every project that McFadden Engineering undertakes is designed to remove contaminants that might be released back into the water cycle from wastewater discharges. McFadden works with customers to obtain permits and to develop treatment processes that safely discharge water to waterways including rivers as a part of our commitment to sustainable engineering solutions.
