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: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: URBAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE NATO ADVANCED RESEARCH WORKSHOP SUMMARY 22-27 JUNE 1989 KYLE E SCHILLING P E Workshop Director The Workshop was based on the recognition that all NATO countries are concerned with similar water infrastructure issues. Present problems are aggravated by aging and neglected facilities, by inadequate financing and by water management institutions reflecting the needs of an earlier era. Service needs to be provided for expanding populations, at the same time that corrective measures must be taken for decaying older urban centers, resulting both from neglect and expiring service life. These needs exist within the framewode of other competing and conflicting uses for existing and yet to be developed water sources. The problems have generated some highly visible national debates over financing due to the large sums involved. Despite differences in the age of the North American, European and other societies, the technological ages of water supply and storm water systems are much the same and provide a common denominator in the worldwide trend to urbanization. Examination of approaches to urban water management also indicates that they are generally based on past experience and institutions created in a non-urban era. The physical, financial and institutional alternatives are consequently often out-of-step with current urban environment. Historically, the supply of adequate water and efficient storm water management have also been top priority items with water quality and other aspects of environmental protection assuming a lower priority after basic supply needs have been met.

Download or read book Media Discourse on Aging Water Infrastructure written by Sridhar Vedachalam and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. 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.

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.

Book excerpt: Many midsize and large cities throughout the U.S. have lost a substantial percentage of their population. These cities face the challenge of a corresponding decline in utility revenues from a loss of ratepayers, which makes it difficult to address their water infrastructure needs. Overall, water and wastewater utilities across the U.S. face substantial costs to maintain, upgade, or replace aging and deteriorating infrastructure -- approximately $655 billion for water and wastewater utilities over the next 20 years. This report examines (1) the economic characteristics of such cities and their water and wastewater infrastructure needs; (2) strategies that selected cities and utilities have used to address their infrastructure needs and the affordability of their water and wastewater rates; and (3) what existing federal programs and policies, if any, could assist such cities in addressing their needs.
