STEVE HUBBS is a Professional Engineer with 28 years of experience at the Louisville<br />

<strong>Water</strong> Company in Louisville, Kentucky. In the early 1980s, he began researching riverbank<br />

filtration as an alternate source of water <strong>for</strong> the Louisville <strong>Water</strong> Company, specifically<br />

looking at the reduction in disinfection byproduct precursors, river-borne organics, and<br />

mutagenicity in the riverbank-filtration process. His work continued in the 1990s with a<br />

focus on pathogen reduction, and his research is now being conducted on the hydraulic<br />

connection between the riverbed and the aquifer, with a focus on riverbed plugging<br />

dynamics and their influence on sustainable yields from high-capacity riverbank-filtration systems. Hubbs<br />

received an M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Louisville, and is currently enrolled<br />

in the Ph.D. program in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Louisville, focusing on<br />

the hydraulics of riverbank-filtration systems.<br />
