SUMMARY:Clean Water Access During Emergencies
DESCRIPTION:Following an emergency event\, communities need access to clean water for drinking\, cooking\, cleaning\, showering\, laundry\, and medical triage. EPA partnered with WaterStep to develop a modular\, mobile water treatment system known as Water on Wheels – Emergency Mobile Water Treatment System (WOW Cart). The WOW Cart has deployed in response to hurricanes\, tornadoes\, multi-county flooding\, and decontamination of dam and levee pressure relief wells. Additionally\, WOW Carts were sent to Ukraine\, multiple state prisons to improve sustainability\, ruggedized for military specifications including arctic conditions\, and provide remote monitoring data transmission. \nThis webinar will present proposed capability expansion of WOW Cart to address the removal of heavy metals\, brackish water\, and pre-treat extremely poor raw water sources. It will discuss future deployments to integrate the WOW Cart into a packaged greywater reuse system and for use at fire fighting camps. Dave Carney\, with Kentucky’s Healthcare Coalitions\, will discuss the integration of the WOW Cart into their Emergency Response Plan and the use of the ‘Lily Pad Concept’ to pre-deploy multiple WOW Carts across the State.

SUMMARY:Temperature\, Precipitation\, & More: Datasets for Comprehensive Analysis of Local Climate Change Impacts
DESCRIPTION:EPA’s Dynamically Downscaled Ensemble (EDDE) is a collection of complex 3D physics-based models reflecting the potential changes over time to weather\, extreme events\, and regional climate across much of North America out to the year 2100. EDDE includes data that are driven by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scenarios and global-scale models. The regional datasets within EDDE are created using state-of-the-science numerical models that consider the physical interactions of the atmosphere\, soil\, and water. The output in EDDE is archived at the regional model’s spatial scale and at hourly increments over historical and future periods that span multiple decades. These data were prepared by EPA to support assessment\, adaptation\, and resilience activities to protect human health and the environment. This webinar will discuss EDDE Version 1 data availability\, as well as the design and release timeline of EDDE Version 2.

SUMMARY:PFAS in “Real World” Samples
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Marina Evich and Anna Robuck\, EPA ORD Center for Environmental Measurement and Modeling \nThe complexity of environmental exposures can be difficult to adequately capture in laboratory settings\, necessitating the analysis of ‘real world’ samples for many contaminants including legacy and novel PFAS. Following large scale historic contamination spanning decades in New Jersey\, multiple environmental media\, including soil\, sediment\, water\, and biota\, were collected and analyzed using high resolution mass spectrometry\, providing a more accurate understanding of the occurrence and behavior of novel\, understudied\, and legacy PFAS in interconnected environmental matrices.

SUMMARY:Climate Change: Nutrient & Sediment Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Role of Climate and Nutrient Inputs in Influencing Riverine and Coastal Nutrient Loads – Robert Sabo\, EPA Office of Research and Development\n\nLeveraging some of the best-available empirical nitrogen and phosphorus input-output budget information and environmental and climate datasets\, researchers at EPA and their collaborators are developing powerful deep learning models to explain the spatial and temporal patterns of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution to waterways across the U.S. This presentation will cover the development of this modeling work\, including how these models will help identify likely drivers of water quality improvement and degradation since the 1990s and highlight what local factors (e.g.\, soil characteristics\, climate) enhance or diminish the loss of nutrients to waterways. In addition\, these predictive models will be used to evaluate the sensitivity of watershed nutrient loss to shifts in precipitation and increases in temperature due to projected changes in climate in the coming decades. \n  \n\nAssessment of Chesapeake Climate Change Using A Suite of Atmospheric\, Land Use\, Watershed\, and Estuarine\, Models – Lewis Linker\, EPA Region 3 Chesapeake Bay Program Office\n\nThis presentation will cover a comprehensive analysis of climate change in the Chesapeake watershed and tidal waters using an integrated suite of land use\, airshed\, watershed\, and estuarine models.  The analysis supports the historic 2010 Chesapeake Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)\, the largest and most complex in the nation\, in offsetting current and future climate impacts by quantifying its impairments.  The analysis looked at 23 separable elements of climate change\, such as changes in atmospheric deposition of nitrogen\, nutrient speciation\, tidal wetland loss to sea level rise\, and others\, with a quantification of the impact of change climate conditions on many of the separate elements.
