This document provides an overview of the Greater New Orleans Urban Water Plan, which aims to restore balance to New Orleans through improved management of water resources. It discusses problems like flooding and subsidence facing New Orleans and opportunities to improve safety, economic vitality, and quality of life. Specific strategies are proposed for different basins, including using canals, wetlands, and green infrastructure to store and circulate water, reduce flooding risks, and recharge groundwater. Case studies of projects in different neighborhoods are also presented to demonstrate how the plan could be implemented. The economic benefits of the plan are estimated to outweigh the costs over 50 years.

GreenHome NYC is pleased to announce their February 17 monthly forum, The Women of Green, at a location to be determined. In this 1.5 hour presentation, attendees will meet 12 women in the green field, established professionals who are trying and succeeding in changing the environmental movement. The presentation will be done in Pecha Kucha format, where each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to present. This is a forum for women (and maybe well-behaved men) to see the breadth of careers in the sustainable field that don’t involve what we like to call the green “bling” (ground source heat pumps, solar, wind, bamboo, green roofs, and the like).
This will be held as the regular monthly forum meeting of GreenHomeNYC (www.greenhomenyc.org) an all- volunteer organization dedicated to helping people in the NYC region green their lives. It is being done in cooperation with Hunter’s CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities;
Admission is free but attendees can make a tax-deductable contribution to GreenHomeNYC at the forum.

Cook County Solid Waste Action Plan--Passed 4/3/12cookcountyblog
On Tuesday, April 3rd, Cook County Board approved President Preckwinkle’s Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) for suburban Cook County, the first plan generated in 12 years. The SWMP outlines the county’s current level of waste generation, disposal and recycling, and makes recommendations for improvement.
President Preckwinkle’s 2012 Plan reimagines traditional solid waste planning. Instead of focusing on landfilling and waste-to-energy conversion, the SWMP first recommends source reduction (preventing waste in the first place), then reuse, then recycling, followed by energy recovery. Landfilling is a last resort.
“We have a responsibility to the residents of Cook County, and future generations, to employ creative and aggressive measures to reduce solid waste in our communities,” President Preckwinkle said. “Our Solid Waste Management Plan is taking the first step in meeting this environmental challenge, and we are working toward a visionary goal of 100% waste diversion from landfills.”
FACED WITH CLIMATE change and environmental degradation many cities are turning to Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) solutions to enhance climate resilience as well as restore the health of ecosystems.
Presentation is from Park Pride's 15th Annual Parks and Greenspace Conference. The speaker is Andrea Bozarth.
This panel of park leaders, representing three very unique and playful park spaces, will discuss their ambitious plans and processes that led to the creation of PLAY Chastain - Chastain Park's new 40,000 square foot playground - Abernathy Greenway's Playable Art Park, and Wichita's Grandparents Park.

Policy Tools to Achieve Urban Water SecurityRobert Brears
TRADITIONALLY, URBAN WATER managers, faced with increasing demand for water alongside varying levels of supplies, have relied on largescale, supply-side infrastructural
projects, such as dams and reservoirs, to meet increased demands for water. This supply-side approach, however, is under increasing pressure from climate change, rapid population and economic growth and even land-use changes impacting the availability of good quality water of sufficient quantities. To enhance urban water security, water managers are turning towards demand-side management.
3A GREENER, GREATER NEW YORK PLANYCFour years ago we asked.docxgilbertkpeters11344
3A GREENER, GREATER NEW YORK PLANYC
Four years ago we asked what we want our
city to look and feel like in 2030.
A growing population, aging infrastructure,
a changing climate, and an evolving economy
posed challenges to our city’s success and quality
of life. But we recognized that we will determine
our own future by how we respond to and shape
these changes with our own actions.
We created PlaNYC as a bold agenda to meet
these challenges and build a greener, greater
New York.
This effort has yielded tremendous results.
In just four years we’ve added more than 200
acres of parkland while improving our existing
parks. We’ve created or preserved more than
64,000 units of affordable housing. We’ve
provided New Yorkers with more transportation
choices. We’ve enacted ambitious laws to make
existing buildings more energy-efficient. And our
greenhouse gas emissions have fallen 13% below
2005 levels.
Now we must do more.
Today, we put forward an updated plan that
builds upon the progress and lessons of the
past four years.
PlaNYC complements other City efforts, such
as those we are making on crime, poverty,
education, public health, or social services.
The Plan focuses on the physical city, and
the functionality of its infrastructure in our
everyday lives: housing that is too often too
expensive, neighborhoods that need more
playgrounds, aged water and power systems
overdue for upgrade, congested streets and
crowded subways. If these challenges remain
unaddressed, we will undermine our economy
and our quality of life.
Our city’s history teaches us that investing in
our future is not a luxury, but an imperative.
In the 19th century, innovative and ambitious
investments in infrastructure like the Croton
water system and the Brooklyn Bridge, plus
an unprecedented influx of new people, firmly
established New York as the nation’s leading
city. In ensuing decades, the city’s dynamism
and ability to reinvent itself, exemplified by new
investments in subways, skyscrapers, sanitation,
and sewers all propelled New York’s status as a
global leader in infrastructure and innovation.
That’s the story of our city, century after century.
Times change, but New York City often leads
the change. The key to New York’s success has
always been our leaders’ foresight and courage
to boldly meet challenges and capitalize on
opportunities.
Those are our aims with PlaNYC.
Improve the
quality of our
waterways
to increase
opportunities for
recreation and
restore coastal
ecosystems
Waterways
62 WATERWAYSWATERWAYS
Water surrounds New York City, and the story of
our harbor in many ways reflects the history of
our city. The Hudson, East, Harlem, and Bronx
Rivers, Jamaica Bay, and the Upper and Lower
New York Bays have physically defined the city
and supported trade, industry, diverse ecologi-
cal communities, and recreation. Our water-
ways, as much as any other element of the city,

The need for allocation and management occurs when the uses become rival and trade-offs emerge.
Fundamentally the concept of benefit sharing becomes a good idea when the strategically selected and placed investments planned at a basin level is more profitable than when done at a country level.

Closing Keynote Presentation from the Financial Times Water Summit from Doug ...Ecolab
How can business achieve growth in an era of water scarcity? Ecolab is on the ground at more than one million customer locations globally and is seeing a mindset shift - business is starting to think of water as a contributor to value creation, and make proactive water management decisions before policy demands action. Current technology can significantly reduce industrial water use - a risk-adjusted price for water helps drive priority investments that save money and enable growth. Industrial automation and data analytics are providing much-needed insights. We can take action now to secure or future prosperity.

Regional Costs vs. Benefits Over Fifty Years
52 Greater New Orleans UrBuilding Value
Estimated Economic Value: Quantitative Benefits
Common two-year, five-year, and ten-year storm events in the New Orleans
area (with 50%, 20%, and 10% chance of occurring each year, respectively)
impose an economic drain on local businesses and property owners. Beyond
the structural damage and lost worker productivity, these flood events, over 50
years, produce approximately 600,000 tons of debris and leave over 270,000
households in need of temporary shelter.
Reduced Flooding
Cost $8.0 Billion
By actively managing the region’s groundwater levels, the Plan minimizes
land subsidence, thereby reducing damage to structures and infrastructure,
including levee improvement costs. Only costs associated with building
structural damage are presented here. Infrastructure costs due to subsidence,
such as damage to streets, sidewalks, utilities, etc, which are not quantified
within the scope of this project, will be significantly higher.
Reduced Subsidence
Cost $2.2 Billion
The National Flood Insurance Program allows cities and counties to earn
discounts on flood insurance premiums for their residents through the
Community Rating System. The CRS awards points to communities that
implement technical solutions and outreach campaigns that mitigate flood
risk. Analysis of the credits currently earned by Orleans and Jefferson Parish
communities, and the range of credits available, reveals that there is potential
for significant savings in all three parishes.
Lower Flood
Insurance Premiums $609 Million
By investing in new open canals, storage areas and green space, the Urban
Water Plan stands to have a positive impact on property values and new
investment. Over 41,500 properties lie within 200 meters of a proposed
intervention or improvement. Using assessed values for these parcels, it is
estimated that with intensive implementation, property values would increase
by $183 million.
Increased Property
Values $183 Million
The Urban Water Plan introduces a new industry, creating jobs in the design,
construction, and maintenance of stormwater management practices. In
addition to the wages paid to individual workers, these new jobs create an
economic benefit to society in expanding the tax base and reducing poverty-
related costs. Intensive implementation of the plan would create up to 101,790
direct and indirect jobs (full and part-time) over the next 50 years and have a
regional economic impact of $11.3 Billion.

mated Economic Value: Quantitative Benefits
Common two-year, five-year, and ten-year storm events in the New Orleans
area (with 50%, 20%, and 10% chance of occurring each year, respectively)
impose an economic drain on local businesses and property owners. Beyond
the structural damage and lost worker productivity, these flood events, over 50
years, produce approximately 600,000 tons of debris and leave over 270,000
households in need of temporary shelter.
educed Flooding
Cost $8.0 Billion
By actively managing the region’s groundwater levels, the Plan minimizes
land subsidence, thereby reducing damage to structures and infrastructure,
including levee improvement costs. Only costs associated with building
structural damage are presented here. Infrastructure costs due to subsidence,
such as damage to streets, sidewalks, utilities, etc, which are not quantified
within the scope of this project, will be significantly higher.
duced Subsidence
Cost $2.2 Billion
The National Flood Insurance Program allows cities and counties to earn
discounts on flood insurance premiums for their residents through the
Community Rating System. The CRS awards points to communities that
implement technical solutions and outreach campaigns that mitigate flood
risk. Analysis of the credits currently earned by Orleans and Jefferson Parish
communities, and the range of credits available, reveals that there is potential
for significant savings in all three parishes.
Lower Flood
urance Premiums $609 Million
By investing in new open canals, storage areas and green space, the Urban
Water Plan stands to have a positive impact on property values and new
investment. Over 41,500 properties lie within 200 meters of a proposed
intervention or improvement. Using assessed values for these parcels, it is
estimated that with intensive implementation, property values would increase
by $183 million.
creased Property
Values $183 Million
The Urban Water Plan introduces a new industry, creating jobs in the design,
construction, and maintenance of stormwater management practices. In
addition to the wages paid to individual workers, these new jobs create an
economic benefit to society in expanding the tax base and reducing poverty-
related costs. Intensive implementation of the plan would create up to 101,790
direct and indirect jobs (full and part-time) over the next 50 years and have a
regional economic impact of $11.3 Billion.
