SUMMARY:Webinar | SARS CoV-2 in Wastewater Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:The EPA’s Office of Research and Development invites you to a free webinar! \nAs part of their water research webinar series the US EPA invites you join them for a discussion of SARS CoV-2 in Wastewater Monitoring: Linking Research and Application to Meet Immediate Needs. \nWidespread studies conducted national and globally indicate that genes specific to SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus that causes COVID-19) can be detected in wastewater. The ability to collectively sample both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals has lead dozens of states\, cities\, and universities to actively monitor wastewater to inform public health decisions. The clarity of the reflection of community prevalence of infection within the mirror of wastewater can be distorted by several factors\, including variation in analytical detection methods\, decay and dilution of viral genes during wastewater transport\, and imprecision in relating the wastewater signal to other imperfect measures of community infection rates. \nThis webinar will focus on the following collaborative efforts of EPA’s SARS-CoV-2 wastewater monitoring research team to reduce uncertainties:\n• Method development within the lab.\n• Application in sewersheds with distinctive levels of industrial and stormwater impacts–in coordination\nwith the Cincinnati Metropolitan Sewer District.\n• Development of a wastewater surveillance systems in Ohio–in support of the Ohio Department\nof Health.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Creating New or Expanding Existing Water Sources
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will look at the technology\, operation and maintenance of water systems that create new or expanded water for a community.  By nature\, these sources tend to be locally controlled.  In the case of ground water\, it can have contaminants such as iron or manganese\, nitrate\, or water that is brackish that make it unsuitable for drinking water unless some advanced treatment technology is used.  We will also look at re-purifying waste water being treated for purple pipe\, ground water recharge\, and lake augmentation.  We will look at the example of the world’s largest water re-purification system:  Orange County Ground Water Recharge System (GWRS).  This webinar will look at the advanced treatment choices and show the GWRS as a model for other projects. \nThis webinar is 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm on September 29 and September 30.\nEarn up to 6 contact hours.\nInstructor: Henry Palechek \nMember $80 / Non-member $100\nOnline registration for this webinar closes on September 27. \n\n

SUMMARY:Webinar | Wildfires and Resulting Impacts to Water Bodies Used as Drinking Water
DESCRIPTION:The United States Environmental Protection Agency is offering a free webinar as part of their small systems monthly series.  A certificate of attendance will be offered for this webinar as well.  The toxins released by wildfires can make their way into the water system\, and in light of the current environment the information is more useful than ever.  There will be an optional Q&A session from 3:00 to 3:30. \nYou can register here: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2152789201095229455 \nDetritus material in forest watersheds is the major terrestrial source of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursors in water bodies used as drinking water sources and is also a fuel that can ignite wildfires. In these watersheds\, hot temperatures and dry conditions increase the likelihood of high-severity wildfires.  To help reduce this risk\, low-severity prescribed burning is used as a forest management practice to reduce fuel loads from forest\nfloor detritus material. In either high- or low-severity fires\, DOM exported to source waters from managed watersheds is likely to have different characteristics and treatability compared to DOM exported from unburned watersheds. These potential source water quality\nchanges may require that drinking water utilities adapt their treatment processes to account for these changes. Modeling and decision support tools can help explore treatability and adaptation strategies for these impacted water systems. \nWith presenters speaking on specialties from environmental engineering to biogeochemistry\, there will be plenty of valuable knowledge. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar | EPA Tools & Resources Webinar  Water Network Tool for Resilience (WNTR)
DESCRIPTION:Drinking water utilities face multiple challenges—including aging infrastructure\, water quality concerns\, pipe breaks\, uncertainty in supply and demand\, natural disasters\, environmental emergencies and terrorist attacks. All of these have the potential to disrupt service to customers and damage critical infrastructure. Increasing resilience to these types of hazards is essential to improving water security. Simulation and analysis tools can help water utilities predict how their system will respond to expected and unexpected incidents and help inform decisions to make water distribution systems more resilient over time. EPA\, in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories\, developed the Water Network Tool for Resilience (WNTR)\, an open source Python package\, to integrate critical aspects of resilience modeling for water distribution networks into a single software framework. WNTR can help water utilities investigate the resilience of their water systems to a wide range of hazardous scenarios and evaluate emergency response actions and long-term resilience‐enhancing strategies. The software estimates potential damages from disaster scenarios; predicts how damage to infrastructure would occur over time; evaluates preparedness strategies; prioritizes response actions; and identifies worse case scenarios\, efficient repair strategies\, and best practices for maintenance and operations. This webinar will provide an overview of WNTR along with a few case study applications. \nTo join this webinar\, please register: \nhttps://epawebconferencing.acms.com/waternetworktoolforresilience/event/registration.html \nFor registration questions\, please contact tools_resources_webinar@epa.gov
