Brief Description of Webinar

Join Clean Water Pro for a results-driven session focused on sustainable lagoon sludge management and the evolving role of drones in municipal services. We’ll share field-tested, science-backed strategies that have saved municipalities hundreds of thousands of dollars through non-invasive sludge reduction techniques. The session also highlights how public works departments can leverage drones for wildfire monitoring, search and rescue operations, land drainage assessments, and infrastructure mapping. This practical webinar is ideal for CAOs, engineers, public works teams, and emergency planners seeking efficient, cost-effective tools to enhance municipal operations. Public Works teams in particular will benefit from practical, on-the-ground strategies that improve maintenance planning, streamline inspections, and enhance operational efficiency across multiple service areas.
