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: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.

SUMMARY:Wildfire Impacts on Water Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Over 56\,000 wildfires were reported in 2023 according to the Department of Interior’s National Interagency Fire Center. Many of these fires have destroyed countless acres of land as well as any structure on them. In August 2023\, a wildfire in Maui\, Hawai’i impacted over 2\,000 structures and is considered the deadliest United States wildfire in at least the past 100 years. Contamination of drinking water systems and premise plumbing from wildfires is an emergency concern\, especially in the Western United States. Much about wildfire-associated contamination from benzene and other hazardous materials is not well understood. Knowledge gaps complicate response and recovery actions and efforts to build water systems resilience against future wildfires. \nThis presentation will discuss EPA’s emergency response efforts to the Maui wildfires and ongoing research to further understand contamination of water infrastructure. Research topics include uptake and release of contaminants in hot and cold pipes commonly used in premise plumbing and the effects of hot gasses and smoke on drinking water pipes.

SUMMARY:Assessing Community Vulnerabilities to Potential Contaminant Releases from Extreme Events
DESCRIPTION:Extreme events (e.g.\, excessive heat\, droughts\, floods\, wildfires) are projected to be more frequent and intense under future climate scenarios. During extreme events\, contaminated sites and waste management facilities have the potential to release contaminants and impact nearby communities. Understanding the risks to communities from potential exposures to water- and airborne contaminants underlies preparedness\, emergency response\, and mitigation planning. To better understand and communicate what is known and unknown about such risks\, EPA ORD developed indicators of environmental\, public health\, socioeconomic\, or other conditions to assess community vulnerabilities to potential contaminant releases from extreme events. The Handbook on Indicators of Community Vulnerability to Extreme Events: Considering Sites and Waste Management Facilities provides the conceptual framework and indicators approach. Join the webinar to learn more about the handbook and how to use the approach.

SUMMARY:EPA’s Water Security Test Bed: Critical Infrastructure Research
DESCRIPTION:Maintaining water distribution system operability during a security threat and after disasters is vital for community resilience. With 84% of the U.S. population receiving water from over 160\,000 public drinking water systems; it is imperative that emergency responders return a water system back to operation quickly and with confidence that the water is safe to drink. This presentation will discuss EPA’s first-of-its-scale Water Security Test Bed (WSTB)\, which replicates a section of a typical municipal drinking water piping system to better understand the behavior of water systems under real-world conditions. \nEPA researchers are evaluating infrastructure and premise plumbing decontamination technologies\, mobile emergency water treatment systems and research focused on radionuclides. The future vision for the WSTB focuses on prevention\, mitigation\, and quick return-to-service of distribution system operational technology hardware and software compromised by cyber attacks. Presenters will provide an overview of site capabilities\, work that has been conducted at the WSTB over the last 10 years\, and the future research vision for the next decade.

SUMMARY:Assessment of clogging in Managed Aquifer Recharge schemes
DESCRIPTION:Managed aquifer recharge\, or MAR\, refers to the intentional recharge of water to aquifers for subsequent use or environmental benefit. MAR offers numerous benefits\, including storage to improve the security of water supply\, including long-term storage for drought supply. natural treatment. All MAR schemes will invariably experience clogging of some type (physical\, chemical or biological)\, and to some degree\, during their operational life and is the single greatest operational risk to sustainability of schemes. \nThis webinar is for new proponents and operators of existing MAR schemes to assist them in recognising the potential for clogging and how to employ the appropriate mitigation or remediation measures. \nThe webinar will use case studies from both injection and infiltration MAR schemes and describe their approaches to clogging management through engineering design or operational management practices. Practical tips for managing the dominant types of clogging and principles on reducing clogging effects for new schemes will be shared.

SUMMARY:Occurrence of Legionella pneumophila In Drinking Water Distribution Systems
DESCRIPTION:Legionella pneumophila is a significant drinking water contaminant due to its role in causing Legionnaires’ Disease (LD)\, a potentially fatal illness. While LD risk is largely determined by water management within buildings\, public water systems also contribute to L. pneumophila exposure and must play a role in its management. However\, limited data exist on its occurrence in distribution systems (DSs) and associated factors. \nProject 5156\, Occurrence of Legionella pneumophila in Drinking Water Distribution\, was a two-year study involving fifty-seven utilities monitoring L. pneumophila in water distribution systems across various regions\, system sizes\, and disinfectant types. The study aimed to develop a response and communication protocol for utilities following positive L. pneumophila detections; collect data to examine the relationship between L. pneumophila occurrence and disinfectant residuals; analyze the associations between disinfectant type\, concentration\, and system characteristics; and identify locations at higher risk for L. pneumophila presence. Additionally\, a benchmark risk analysis was conducted to assess the risk of L. pneumophila in distribution systems. \nIn this webcast\, presenters will share key findings from the study\, offering practical recommendations for monitoring and managing L. pneumophila in public water systems. The research enhances our understanding of L. pneumophila occurrence in distribution systems and provides valuable insights to help utilities improve water management practices and protect public health.

SUMMARY:Establishing a Framework for Integrating Stormwater Capture into Water Supply Planning
DESCRIPTION:Stormwater is an increasingly important water resource and potential new water supply. It is estimated that systematic stormwater capture and use (SCU) could meet more than half of municipal and industrial water needs in the nation’s urban areas\, about the same amount of supply achievable through wastewater recycling. Moreover\, comparisons of costs of supply augmentation alternatives suggest SCU often is a less expensive source than wastewater recycling\, desalination\, or new supply development. The research team will focus on SCU for water supply augmentation where a primary objective includes augmenting (or offsetting) use of existing supplies through potable and/or non-potable applications. \nThe core objective of this project is to develop a pragmatic\, actionable research to inform and guide water sector professionals in (1) evaluating the potential value and feasibility of tapping stormwater as a source of supply (within the context of multi-benefit stormwater management); and (2) navigating the complex process of working with other utilities\, regulators\, elected officials\, and relevant stakeholders to move ideas into action.
