SUMMARY:Messaging for Energy and Environmental Executive Orders
DESCRIPTION:Join the Environmental Polling Consortium for a presentation of the results from new message testing showing the most effective ways to respond to Trump’s executive orders on energy and the environment\, including: \n-Withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement; \n-Opening up more public lands and waters for oil and gas drilling\, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska; \n-Suspending new government permits and leases for wind energy projects; \n-Weakening vehicle emissions and efficiency standards; and \n-Repealing the government’s environmental justice programs. \nThis work was conducting with the Sierra Club\, GreenLatinos\, and other partners. We will record this session and send out the materials to all registrants – if you cannot attend live\, you can still register and receive the follow-up materials.

SUMMARY:AWWA/WEF The Utility Management Conference
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, water utility executives and managers keep returning to the Utility Management Conference (UMC). This gathering offers forward-thinking leadership\, creative strategic planning\, efficient processes\, and holistic approaches to ongoing improvement efforts.  \nThree reasons why utility leaders should attend this prestigious event:  \n\nGain insight from leadership peers. This conference attracts top executives and managers across all water utility departments. Get the view from the top of what is really working.  \n\n\nPrepare for the future. Learn how utilities can adapt to climate change\, fix aging infrastructure\, achieve digital transformation\, leverage funding options\, and address other evolving considerations.\n\n\nDevelop the next generation of utility leaders. UMC is co-located with the Young Professionals Summit and features some joint events. Do not miss this opportunity to inspire and guide future utility leaders.

SUMMARY:Alternative Water Sources to Augment Water Supplies
DESCRIPTION:Meeting the demand for safe and adequate supplies of water\, especially in regions undergoing hotter and drier weather conditions\, requires addressing research gaps associated with water reuse and water storage\, including enhanced or managed aquifer recharge. Sustainable and safe water supply is a common theme for states and communities across the nation. Key research needs include chemical and microbial risk assessments for fit for purpose reuse\, treatment characterization and performance as well as reliable supplies and cost\, which will assist communities in their water reuse and aquifer recharge decisions. This webinar will provide an overview of ongoing EPA ORD research related to alternative water sources including decentralized water reuse\, protein processing plants\, treated produced water from oil and gas activities\, and enhanced/managed aquifer recharge\, as well as collaborations with our partners.

SUMMARY:Emergency Response:  Drinking Water Supply Planning and Treatment Technology Deployment
DESCRIPTION:Planning for an Emergency Drinking Water Supply\nDuring an incident that disrupts the availability of drinking water on a large-scale or regional basis\, clarity in the roles and responsibilities of those involved with locating\, securing\, and delivering an emergency drinking water supply (EDWS) will be critical. An EDWS is alternate drinking water supply (e.g.\, bottled/bulk water) provided to residents when a community’s drinking water utility can no longer treat and/or distribute water. Provision of an EDWS involves the development of an emergency drinking water plan by a local water utility and also involves the collaboration and partnership between various levels of local government. This presentation will discuss how small drinking water utilities can develop an EDWS plan and coordinate with other local partners to provide emergency drinking water when there is a disaster. \nPortable Treatment System to Provide Drinking Water During Emergencies\nFollowing an emergency event\, communities need access to clean water for drinking\, cooking\, cleaning\, and medical triage. EPA researchers partnered with the nonprofit organization\, WaterStep\, to develop a modular\, mobile water treatment system known as Water on Wheels– Emergency Mobile Water Treatment System (WOW Cart). This presentation will discuss this inexpensive and versatile water treatment system that’s about the size of a shopping cart. It is configured with multiple treatment technologies and is equipped with alternative power sources. The system is easy to operate and can be deployed to critical infrastructure ahead of oncoming natural events to build resiliency.
