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.
Released in November 2023, the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) is the US Government’s preeminent report on climate change impacts, risks and responses. Led by the U.S. Global Research Program (USGCRP) and its 14 member agencies, including
Presentations will include an overview of EPA regulations and programs designed to reduce lead in drinking water and current efforts to provide technical assistance for lead service line identification; a review of new technologies, methods, and predictive modeling tools for identifying service line materials; and an overview of sampling methods for identifying lead service lines.
By leveraging this knowledge, EPA remains committed to providing clear, actionable, and accessible information about PFAS to the public, researchers, and risk assessors.
Over the past several years in EPA Region 6, splash pads connected to disinfected drinking water have been at risk of contamination. Presenters will discuss their investigation into this issue, identify best management practices, and provide risk mitigation tools for prevention and detection of various waterborne disease outbreaks.
This webinar will explore three areas of participatory science focus at EPA: role of participatory science at EPA, key considerations and resources available when starting a project, and lessons learned and project spotlights.
This special extended webinar event includes talks given at the 21st Annual EPA Drinking Water Workshop on September 17-19, 2024.
Increased availability and accessibility to 10-m landcover, topographic, and environmental data alongside tools and computers to process these data at the continental scale support large-scale landcover modeling
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.
During 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.
When community infrastructure is damaged from storms, contaminated floodwaters can become a problem. It is important for emergency responders to understand how water systems can be decontaminated and returned to service so that communities can begin to recover.
States have expressed interest in understanding removal rates and viable treatment technologies to address public health concerns.
