Download or read book Safe Water From Every Tap written by Committee on Small Water Supply Systems and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-01-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small communities violate federal requirements for safe drinking water as much as three times more often than cities. Yet these communities often cannot afford to improve their water service. Safe Water From Every Tap reviews the risks of violating drinking water standards and discusses options for improving water service in small communities. Included are detailed reviews of a wide range of technologies appropriate for treating drinking water in small communities. The book also presents a variety of institutional options for improving the management efficiency and financial stability of water systems.

Book Advancing Regional Water Supply Planning to Develop Robust  Adaptive  Equitable  and Cooperatively Stable Infrastructure Investment and Management Pathways

Download or read book Advancing Regional Water Supply Planning to Develop Robust Adaptive Equitable and Cooperatively Stable Infrastructure Investment and Management Pathways written by David Fredrick Secrest Gold and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, urban water utilities are challenged by increasingly severe droughts and growing water demands. In the United States (US), these challenges are compounded by increasing costs of new supply development and aging infrastructure that strain the budgets of local water utilities. Regional cooperation can help utilities face these challenges by improving the efficiency of existing water sources and exploiting economies of scale to reduce the capital cost of new infrastructure investment. When implemented using state-aware rule systems that trigger drought mitigation and infrastructure investment decisions, cooperative strategies have been shown to generate infrastructure investment and management policies that maintain robust performance across a broad array of future conditions. But regional cooperation also generates new challenges for water supply planning. Effective strategies must equitably balance the potentially divergent interests of regional partners, as regional conflict can destabilize partnerships, exposing utilities to new risks. The presence of uncertainty in water supply planning problems heightens these risks by masking sources of potential inequity and instability. These challenges motivate the need for new decision support frameworks to develop robust, equitable, cooperatively stable infrastructure investment and management policies. This dissertation presents new research that advances the development of actionable regional water supply management strategies. The first study introduces methodology for exploring robustness conflicts and measuring the impact of implementation uncertainty on water cooperative water supply portfolios. Applied to a system of four water utilities, this study shows that negotiation strategies can discover regional policies that balance robustness across a group of cooperating partners, but also finds that these policies are highly vulnerable to implementation uncertainty. These results further illustrate how delineating safe operating spaces allows utilities to avoid these vulnerabilities. The second study looks more deeply into the multi-actor dynamics of cooperative water supply planning by introducing Regional Defection Analysis, a new methodology for analyzing the cooperative stability of regional supply partnerships and mapping the power relationships within these systems. Regional Defection Analysis extends the existing DU Pathway Framework. Results from a system of three water utilities highlight how seemingly robust infrastructure investment policies may be vulnerable to cooperative instability, reveal power dynamics between regional partners and suggest methods of reducing conflict within cooperative agreements. The third study builds on Regional Defection Analysis by contributing DU Pathway_ERAS, further developing the DU Pathways framework to explicitly focus on the development of equitable, robust, adaptive and cooperatively stable infrastructure investment and management pathways. When applied to a six-utility regional infrastructure investment planning problem, DU Pathway_ERAS (1) reveals how a priori assumptions about performance priorities can lead to unintended consequences for regional equity, (2) illustrates how regional partners can utilize cooperative power to improve regional robustness, and (3) highlights how system vulnerabilities evolves over time.

Book Water Resource Systems Planning and Management

Download or read book Water Resource Systems Planning and Management written by Daniel P. Loucks and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license. This revised, updated textbook presents a systems approach to the planning, management, and operation of water resources infrastructure in the environment. Previously published in 2005 by UNESCO and Deltares (Delft Hydraulics at the time), this new edition, written again with contributions from Jery R. Stedinger, Jozef P. M. Dijkman, and Monique T. Villars, is aimed equally at students and professionals. It introduces readers to the concept of viewing issues involving water resources as a system of multiple interacting components and scales. It offers guidelines for initiating and carrying out water resource system planning and management projects. It introduces alternative optimization, simulation, and statistical methods useful for project identification, design, siting, operation and evaluation and for studying post-planning issues. The authors cover both basin-wide and urban water issues and present ways of identifying and evaluating alternatives for addressing multiple-purpose and multi-objective water quantity and quality management challenges. Reinforced with cases studies, exercises, and media supplements throughout, the text is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in water resource planning and management as well as for practicing planners and engineers in the field.
