ABSTRACT

Standard methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater have recently published the 24th edition. This revision included 82 new or revised methods with editorial revisions in form and style throughout the book. The Standard Methods Commitee continues to improve and add new methods in anticipation of the 25th Edition and a long-term goal of more reliance on web accessed methods. This presentation serves as notification of our activities including an overview of the Standard Methods process and web site. New methods since the publication of the 24th edition and new methods in process or planned will be presented.
