Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) Research Plan on Aging Water Infrastructure (AWI) describes a large number of projects intended to improve and evaluate innovative technologies and techniques to reduce the cost and improve effectiveness of aging drinking water and wastewater treatment and conveyance systems. After finalizing the plan in 2007, ORD commenced twenty six research projects that constitute only a subset of projects recommended in the plan. ORD requested that the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) provide early advice in the form of a consultation on the suitability and appropriateness of completed, existing and upcoming research projects, whether additional projects are needed, and the overall scope of the program."--P. 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water infrastructure in the United States is aging. Budgetary constraints of federal, state and local governments have resulted in the delay or deferral of critically needed investments. Infrastructure failures such as water main breaks are a daily occurrence in many cities across the U.S. Recent observations at the state and national level indicate that public opinion is asserting itself on public investment decision-making by elected leaders. We conducted a content analysis of print media articles during the period 1999-2012 on water main breaks (WMB), and water and sewer rate increases (WSR). Approximately 500 articles on each topic drawn from the LexisNexis news database were randomly selected for the analysis. Our analysis found that media coverage of water infrastructure is an episodic affair with little attention to ongoing issues. WSR articles contained more details and a focus on governance, while WMB articles addressed business concerns and were concentrated in older cities.

Download or read book Resilient Water Services and Systems written by Petri Juuti and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resilient Water Services and Systems: The Foundation of Well-Being provides an overarching framework on water and sanitation services and how they are coping with resilience, aging infrastructure and climate change. The Editors present conceptual evidence about resilience backed by case studies that demonstrate resilience in practice. There are 13 case studies, from Asia, Africa, Europe and North and South America, providing informative perspectives from around the world. This is a timely collection of historic and contemporary evidence that will have increasing relevance in the coming decades. This volume will be of relevance to both scholars and practitioners. “Resilient water services are the key to water security across the world. Sustaining them is a challenging task in high-income countries where aging infrastructure is a critical issue, and in low-income countries where new infrastructure is needed and ability-to-pay is a more formidable barrier to success. The editors have compiled a succinct analysis and assembled case studies that cover diverse regions and contexts. From this book the reader will gain a wealth of knowledge about water services, as well as rich vicarious experiences from the cases.

Book excerpt: Innovations in Water Infrastructure, tackles the issue of water and sanitation as one of the most pressing and urgent issues of our time in a global context. S. Bry Sarte and Morana M. Stipisic highlight the ways in which resilient design for water infrastructure can be reframed as critical connective tissue and as a living system that provides a variety of benefits such as decreasing urban heat island effects, releasing pressure on aging infrastructure, absorbing water for flood protection, filtering water and reuse, and providing ecological habitat and ecosystem services.

Download or read book Water Infrastructure written by U. S. Government Accountability Office ( and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and water utility industry groups, communities will need as much as $1 trillion during the next 20 years to repair, replace, or upgrade aging drinking water and wastewater facilities; accommodate a growing population; and meet new water quality standards. GAO found that the amount of funds obtained from user charges and other local sources of revenue was less than the full cost of providing service--including operation and maintenance, debt service, depreciation, and taxes--for more than a quarter of drinking water utilities and more than 4 out of 10 wastewater utilities in their most recent fiscal year. GAO also found that more than a quarter of utilities lacked plans recommended by utility associations for managing their existing capital assets, but nearly all had plans that identify future capital improvement needs. A privatization agreement's potential to generate profits is the key factor influencing decisions by private companies that enter into such agreements with publicly owned utilities or the governmental entities they serve, according to the companies GAO contacted.

Download or read book Drinking Water Safety written by Jill U. Adams and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While water-quality experts deem most of the nation's drinking water safe, the recent crisis over lead-tainted water in Flint, Mich., dramatized the problems that plague communities nationwide: Lead and other toxic substances continue to pose a threat, and government agencies responsible for monitoring water safety sometimes fail to protect the public. Investigations conducted since the Flint crisis came to light last year have found that thousands of water systems nationwide have failed to meet federal safety standards for lead and other harmful substances. Moreover, environmentalists warn that tens of thousands of industrial pollutants and pharmaceutical compounds slip through water-treatment systems without being tested or regulated. The Environmental Protection Agency sets water-safety standards, but the sourcing, treatment, and distribution of water is left to local utilities, some dealing with polluted water sources, old pipes, or shrinking budgets. Cost estimates to fix the aging U.S. water infrastructure include $30 billion to replace lead pipes and $1 trillion to upgrade water mains.
