Dr. Pramanik lived and worked in the USA and developing countries (primarily in Asia) on various water, sanitation, and environmental protection projects; as well as development and public health projects. He helped manage several key programs including an EPA funded National Nutrient Management Center on Nutrient Removal and Resource Recovery; a flagship water industry program (Leaders Innovation Forum for Technology), a World Bank funded multi-purpose dam / reservoir project in Indonesia; environmental impact and protection studies as well as master plans for various water and sewerage systems in Southeast Asia; institutional capacity building and policy development for environmental protection and public health agencies in several countries. He has specific expertise on recovery of “re-n-e-w-able” (n = nutrients, e = energy, and w = water) resources from water and wastewater treatment facilities, sludge / biosolids management and treatment, as well as reuse / reclamation projects, both in USA and abroad. He has had progressively increasing management and technical responsibilities in the United States and globally in the water industry for over almost three decades in various sectors (public, private, non-governmental, academic).
