The presentation provides a case study of Apollo Group's volunteer program and how the standardized surveys they use through VolunteerMatch helped prove the program's social and business value by increasing efficiency, reach, satisfaction, skills, sales and other metrics. It recommends practices like continuous measurement, focusing on key metrics, and presenting results to leaders.
Cost of Delay: An Economic Approach to Decision Making
Cost of Delay is a lightweight approach to feature and product prioritization that asks a simple question: how much does it cost you not to have something? Reinertsen has said that Cost of Delay is the most important thing to quantify when producing a product. Great, but how do you start? How do you assign a dollar amount to something you have not built yet? How do we make sure that our teams focus on building the most important thing right now? This talk will give you the tools you need to understand Cost of Delay, as well as a set of techniques, from simple proxies to more sophisticated real-dollar analyses to help you understand the impact of delays on your organization.

EAHCP and Spring Cities Regional Asset Preservation in Action
The document discusses the Comal and San Marcos Springs in Texas, which are major sources of river flows to Gulf of Mexico bays and estuaries. The springs are home to endangered species and are cultural and economic assets for the regions. Spring communities have developed HCP work plans to restore and improve habitat, mitigate the effects of recreation, and implement practices to protect water quality and flows to the springs. The plans include removing invasive plants and fish, stabilizing banks, contour terracing for erosion control, and delineating protected scientific study areas.

This document outlines Los Angeles' plan to increase local water supplies and decrease reliance on imported water through their LA's Water Reliability 2025 initiative. The plan combines groundwater remediation efforts with expanding local water supply programs, including capturing more stormwater runoff through both centralized projects and distributed, smaller-scale projects. The plan estimates that these local water supply expansion efforts could yield over 163,000 acre-feet per year of new local water at a total capital cost of $1.7 billion, reducing dependence on imported water and providing water reliability, economic, and environmental benefits.

The document discusses strategies for increasing local water sources in Los Angeles from 11% today to 37% by 2035. It notes barriers to adopting more local water such as costs, lack of understanding of returns, and public distrust of government projects. It then highlights several projects that help overcome these barriers by putting people and communities at the center, such as native landscaping, greenways, permeable streets, school gardens, and playground improvements. Before and after photos of school projects show transformations that help engage the public.

The City of Los Angeles is working to comply with stormwater permit requirements and address 22 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) impacting the city through watershed planning and four Enhanced Watershed Management Plans. The plans outline best management practices like green infrastructure to meet water quality milestones and permit obligations by leveraging resources and coordinating with stakeholders. Stormwater can be viewed as a water resource, and the plans present an opportunity to augment water supplies in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.

The document discusses challenges facing Los Angeles's water infrastructure including an increasing population, aging systems, and dependency on imported water. It outlines Los Angeles's approach through an Integrated Resources Plan to address these challenges through a regional, watershed-based approach involving stakeholder collaboration. Key aspects of the implementation discussed include expanding water conservation, stormwater management through projects like creek and park restoration, and increasing recycled water with a goal of 59,000 acre-feet per year by 2035 through projects like groundwater recharge. The plan has helped build partnerships and launch numerous sustainability programs.

The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County have a long history of water reuse and operate 11 wastewater treatment plants that treat over 500 million gallons per day of wastewater. Approximately 200 million gallons per day of treated water is recycled for reuse purposes, with the number of reuse sites increasing. Challenges for recycled water distribution include the high cost of infrastructure and balancing daily and seasonal supply and demand.
OWL Summit: City of Bend, OR Spotlight
The document discusses the sewer collection system master planning process for the City of Bend, Oregon. It describes:
- Bend's sewer collection system includes 430 miles of sewer mains and over 90 pumping stations that collect over 6 million gallons per day.
- The original master plan faced challenges and capacity issues. A Sewer Infrastructure Advisory Group (SIAG) was formed, consisting of 17 citizen members, to advise on developing an affordable and flexible plan.
- The SIAG was given an expanded role compared to traditional committees, including involvement in decision making. They helped evaluate thousands of potential solutions using an optimization model to identify lowest cost options providing capacity.
Ecosystem Valuation and Water Risk: Ed Pinero
This document discusses ecosystem valuation, including what it is, why it is important, and how it can be done. Specifically:
- Ecosystem services include things like stormwater management, flood control, waste treatment, recreation, and more. Valuing these services is important to make informed decisions that consider environmental, social and economic factors.
- Valuing ecosystem services allows communities to recognize the benefits nature provides, such as water purification and carbon sequestration, and compare alternatives in a common financial language. This improves decision making.
- Case studies demonstrate that maintaining natural ecosystems like wetlands is often much more cost effective than engineered alternatives. Guidelines help standardize the valuation process to ensure rigor and transparency.
Invisible to Invaluable: Harriet Festing Presentation
Harriet Festing presented at the One Water Leadership Summit 2013 on behalf of the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT). CNT is a national nonprofit focused on urban sustainability through research, tools, and policy advocacy. Their water program conducts research on issues like urban flooding and water loss in the Great Lakes region. Survey results showed municipalities face problems like frequent flooding complaints, aging infrastructure, and high water loss without clear goals. Festing argued for building policy cases around these issues by highlighting costs to homeowners, rising water rates, and jobs from infrastructure investment. The key lessons were that solutions exist but need promotion, the costs of inaction are high, and the public already supports change, so coalitions must be built.
