SUMMARY:IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition is the global event for water professionals covering the full water cycle. Join thousands of leading water professionals and companies convened by the International Water Association in August 2024 in Toronto\, Canada. Thought-leaders\, decision makers\, leading researchers and business representatives from within and outside the water sector will focus on water solutions to shape our water future. Learn more at worldwatercongress.org. \nThe IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition brings together stakeholders and key contacts within the conventional water sector and beyond. It brings together core water sector groups\, such as those focused on urban water and urban water services\, as well as participants from industry and agriculture\, architects and urban planners\, soil and groundwater experts and hydrologists\, social scientists\, the ICT sector\, the financial sector\, and others. With a strong representation and contribution from Canada and North America\, the IWA Congress & Exhibition is a vital opportunity to learn about the North-Atlantic water challenges and solutions\, including through technical site visits. \nThe IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition 2024 follows the resounding success of the 2022 World Water Congress & Exhibition edition held in Copenhagen\, Denmark. With a remarkable turnout of nearly 8\,900 participants\, it was a truly celebrated event. For comprehensive details\, please refer to the documents provided below.

SUMMARY:Consolidation\, Partnerships\, and Regionalization
DESCRIPTION:Mapping the Nation’s Community Water Systems: Linking Drinking Water Data to Consumers\n\nEPA recently released a national geospatial dataset of community water system service areas. This dataset allows for the accurate linkage between drinking water providers and their associated consumers\, opening a wide range of potential applications. This presentation will cover the development of the datasetꟷincluding data collection\, machine learning methods\, and evaluationꟷand will demonstrate how to access the data and how it can be integrated into other areas of research\, such as environmental justice and health. Plans for updating this dataset going forward and strategies to improve drinking water research will also be discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Murray\, EPA’s Office of Research and Development \nAndrew is a geographer with EPA’s Office of Research and Development\, Center for Environmental Solutions and Emergency Response. He holds a doctorate in geography from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research centers around drinking water and hydrological processes with specific attention to contamination\, supply and environmental justice. Andrew conducts his research using geostatistics\, spatial analysis and machine learning\, principally using R computing language. \n\nDrinking Water Consolidation and Partnerships in California: Evolving Solutions to Achieve the Human Right to Water\n\nThe California State Water Board\, through the Safe and Affordable Funding or Equity and Resilience (SAFER) program\, harnesses a set of tools\, funding sources\, and regulatory authorities to help struggling water systems sustainably and affordably provide safe drinking water. The SAFER program uses data to identify need and guide decision making on sustainable drinking water solutions\, while direct engagement and partnership ensure solutions best meet the needs of each unique community. This presentation will discuss how data\, direct engagement\, and a breadth of experience create feasible consolidation solutions that offer the highest levels of water system sustainability and resilience. Where physical consolidation is impractical\, increased creativity is needed to include managerial consolidation\, regionally governed water districts\, formal partnerships\, and more. \n\nChad Fischer\, California State Water Resources Control Board \nChad is a supervising engineer at California’s State Water Resources Control Board\, Division of Drinking Water\, where he leads the effort on SAFER (Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience). SAFER provides resources to and partners with communities and schools struggling to provide a reliable source of safe and affordable drinking water. Chad holds a B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and a California Professional Chemical Engineer license. In his spare time\, Chad enjoys hiking and backpacking in the Sierra Nevada mountain range\, especially when he can convince his two teenage boys to join him.
