The Water Environment Federation (WEF) is a winner of the esteemed ContentWise 2011 Magnus Opus Award, a leading custom media awards program that recognizes excellence in editorial, design and strategy for organizations using print and online publications as well as social media in their content marketing efforts. WEF's flagship magazine, Water Environment & Technology (WE&T) received a Gold Award for Best Engineering/Construction Publication in the All Around Publication category.
