SUMMARY:Creating and Maintaining Drinking Water Data
DESCRIPTION:Join EPIC\, the Center for Geospatial Solutions (CGS)\, and the Internet of Water (IoW) on March 19th at 1:00PM EST for a webinar highlighting easy ways to maintain and update key drinking water data. This is an interactive webinar on creating and maintaining drinking water data. We’ll dive into details on a key drinking water dataset—one that can tell us who gets water from whom—and learn about tools to easily collate\, create\, and update this information. \nWe’ll feature innovative solutions like IoW/CGS’s BoundarySync tool\, designed to narrow the digital divide for water utilities and streamline the data curation process. And we’ll learn from others\, and discuss\, how this data complements lead service line inventories.

SUMMARY:Social Systems and Justice in the Fifth National Climate Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Climate change impacts our health\, environment\, and economy\, with differentiated effects on communities and peoples around the United States and the globe. Human activities have been the dominant driver of climate change and it is inextricably tied to a history of human development and decision-making from individuals to organizations to entire societies. For these reasons\, we cannot fully understand or respond to current or future changes in climate without understanding the history of human organization – that is\, without understanding the social systems that influence these climactic changes. \nThis webinar shares findings from the Fifth National Climate Assessment’s Social Systems and Justice chapter. This is the first-ever chapter to address whether and how the actions taken to create\, mitigate\, or adapt to climate change are expected to produce just or unjust outcomes. This webinar will review the chapter’s three key messages: social systems are changing the climate and distributing its impacts inequitably; social systems structure how people perceive and communicate about climate change; and climate justice is possible if processes like migration and energy transitions are equitable. It will also discuss related materials from the report’s sectoral and regional chapters.

SUMMARY:Effectiveness of Nutrient Management for Reducing Nutrient Losses from Agricultural Fields
DESCRIPTION:Nutrients in agricultural areas are managed based on the 4Rs of nutrient stewardship: apply the right nutrient source\, with the right rate\, at the right time\, in the right place. However\, nutrient discharge is an ongoing environmental concern\, and management practices for water quality improvements present many challenges due to complex processes and mechanisms in nutrient cycling and other factors associated with  agricultural conservation practices such as residue and tillage management. \nThis presentation will discuss two investigations focused on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and emphasizes the need for government agencies to work together to address potential economic losses due to implementation of lower fertilizer rates for water quality improvement.

SUMMARY:Cleaner Indoor Air During Wildfires: Phase II Challenge Winners
DESCRIPTION:Exposure to PM2.5\, an air pollutant from wildfire smoke and other sources\, can be harmful to lung and heart health\, especially for those with pre-existing health conditions. Recommended responses to reduce smoke exposure during wildfires include staying indoors with tightly sealed doors and windows and utilizing air filtration systems. \nGiven that current indoor air filtration technologies have limitations that prevent widespread use\, EPA and its federal\, state\, local\, and tribal partners held a Challenge to encourage the development of prototypes for novel\, effective\, low-cost technologies to reduce indoor PM2.5 concentrations and protect public health during wildfire smoke events.​ \nWinners will share their innovative prototypes for low-cost solutions that safely reduce indoor fine particulate matter during periods when outdoor PM2.5 concentrations are high. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions during a fifteen-minute Q&A session following presentations.

SUMMARY:Lead Service Line Inventory Guidance
DESCRIPTION:1: EPA Lead Service Line Inventory Guidance\nMelanie Bolden and Holly Young\, EPA Office of Water \nDeveloping a lead service line (LSL) inventory and identifying the location of LSLs is the first step for beginning LSL replacement and protecting public health. The purpose of this presentation is to walk through the EPA’s Guidance for Developing and Maintaining a Lead Service Line Inventory. The guidance provides support for the service line inventory requirements according to the 2021 Lead & Copper Rule Revisions\, referred to as LCRR. \n2: Colorado Lead Service Line Inventory Guidance\nMelanie Criswell and Haley Orahood\, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment \nThis presentation will cover Colorado’s initial service line inventory guidance policy\, which builds on EPA’s LSL inventories guidance document. Colorado water systems requested a policy to formalize requirements and expectations related to issues such as calling galvanized lines non-lead\, statistical modeling\, and non-lead cutoff dates. Colorado will discuss some of state specific policy decisions on the initial service line inventory and potential Lead and Copper Rule Improvements impacts.

SUMMARY:NACWA Winter Conference: Claiming the High Ground for Public Clean Water Utilities
DESCRIPTION:With the theme\, Claiming the High Ground for Public Clean Water Utilities\, NACWA’s Winter Conference will explore how the water sector is leading by example and setting the record straight over who is responsible for the water quality improvements we have seen in the United States. \nPublic clean water utilities have silently performed the roles of dedicated public servant\, responsible environmentalist\, and indispensable essential service for years. Since the passage of the Clean Water Act over 50 years ago\, these utilities have collaborated with federal and state regulators and various stakeholders in an ongoing effort to pursue the best solutions to protect their communities. This unwavering commitment has led to significant and measurable advancements in water quality and economic progress across the country. Yet\, the public clean water community continues to face persistent mischaracterizations about its motivations and actions from an array of stakeholders. \nJoin us to hear how clean water agencies are claiming the high ground through innovation and enhancements to their operations\, establishing a workplace culture that is attractive to a talented and diverse workforce\, and working to better tell their stories of success – all at a time when the stakes have never been higher.

SUMMARY:Water Quality Risks: Justice40 and Critical Water Infrastructure in Florida
DESCRIPTION:Through its water quality efforts in Florida\, Ocean Conservancy aims to better understand outsized impacts to disadvantaged communities while working with partners to improve marine and coastal water quality. Phase one of the Critical Water Infrastructure case study focused on the Cities of Jacksonville and Orlando\, and the County of Miami-Dade\, due to high numbers of disadvantaged residents (59%). The results illustrate the high exposure of these residents to water-based hazards using geospatial analyses. Stakeholder interviews uncovered barriers to addressing concerns and accessing financial resources. The study concludes with an analysis of EPA State Revolving Fund spending in each location. In addition\, researchers would like to hear from the audience about their water infrastructure resilience efforts and opportunities for additional engagement. \nA través de sus iniciativas en materia de calidad del agua en Florida\, Ocean Conservancy pretende comprender mejor las consecuencias desproporcionadas para las comunidades desfavorecidas\, a la vez que trabaja con socios para mejorar la calidad del agua marina y costera. La primera fase del estudio de caso de Infraestructuras hídricas críticas se centró en las ciudades de Jacksonville y Orlando\, y en el condado de Miami-Dade\, debido al elevado número de residentes desfavorecidos (59 %). Mediante análisis geoespaciales\, se demuestra en este estudio de caso la elevada exposición de estos residentes a los riesgos relacionados con el agua. Las entrevistas con las partes interesadas revelaron los obstáculos que impiden abordar los problemas relacionados con la calidad del agua y el acceso a los recursos financieros. El estudio concluye con un análisis del gasto del Fondo Rotatorio Estatal de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental en cada lugar. Además\, los investigadores les gustaría conocer la opinión del público sobre sus esfuerzos de resiliencia respecto a las infraestructuras hídricas y las oportunidades de participación.
