Water Conservation Update
This document summarizes water conservation efforts in College Station, Texas that have led to reduced water usage. It describes five interventions: 1) a water conservation website providing weekly watering recommendations, 2) emails with the recommendations sent to subscribers, 3) providing water budgets to homeowners to compare usage to needs, 4) free irrigation system checkups, and 5) irrigation workshops. These efforts are estimated to have reduced water usage by 335 million gallons compared to 2010 baseline usage. The success is attributed to educating residents and helping them improve irrigation efficiency.
The Perfect Storm: Nitrate Concentrations - Frey
The study found high nitrate concentrations in Midwestern streams in 2013 following the 2012 drought. Nitrate levels in Iowa and southern Minnesota streams were the highest ever recorded for May-July periods. Streams with higher connectivity to groundwater and located in watersheds with more row crop agriculture and continuous corn had the highest nitrate concentrations. The amount of corn cultivation, especially continuous corn, was the strongest predictor of stream nitrate levels, explaining 64% of the variability observed. The high nitrate levels were likely caused by residual nitrogen from the drought and wet spring contributing to leaching into streams.

This document summarizes two case studies of managing water abstraction to protect sensitive rivers. In the River Kennet case, Action for the River Kennet (ARK) badgered Thames Water for 27 years with little progress due to lack of collaboration. A new £25 million pipeline provided limited benefits. In the Rivers Wye and Usk, the Wye and Usk Foundation (WUF) generated evidence through collaboration in a working group (UWAG) of water companies and regulators, leading to an agreement improving flows while maintaining water supplies. The key lessons are that generating new evidence through collaboration is most effective, while whinging without evidence or collaboration achieves little.

Panola_County_Presentation
This document summarizes a study of water quality in 31 wells across Panola County, Texas. The study measured 13 water quality indicators including chloride, fluoride, total dissolved solids, and dissolved methane. The goals of the study were to provide well owners with information about their water quality, build a partnership with the local groundwater conservation district, and assist with a larger two-year water study. The results found that 7 wells exceeded the EPA limit for chloride, 3 wells exceeded the fluoride limit, and 9 wells exceeded the total dissolved solids limit. The study seeks to understand what contaminants are naturally occurring versus resulting from human activities like oil and gas, wastewater, or abandoned wells. Further monitoring is recommended.
Dcla web page version v2
Douglas County lakes and streams are important for recreation and provide over 20% of the tax base, but water quality cannot be taken for granted as some are impaired. Zebra mussels are changing lake ecology by increasing water clarity and vegetation growth. Excess nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen from sources like lawns, storm runoff, and septic systems contribute to algae blooms and lake impairment, reducing property values. Grants are available to address water quality, but require matching funds. A Douglas County Water Quality Legacy Fund was created to provide these matching funds and protect water resources for future generations.

Block 1A Colorado River Presentation
The document summarizes key aspects of the water cycle in Colorado as it relates to the Colorado River. It discusses the headwaters of the river in the mountains where snowpack and glaciers feed the river. It also mentions cloud seeding to increase snowpack and irrigation of orchards. The document outlines how invasive tamarisk trees increase water use and reservoirs are used to control water flow and enable hydropower. Contamination from abandoned mines pollutes the river as well.
Water chemistry
The document summarizes water chemistry data from multiple sites collected in 2014-2015. Key findings include:
- Temperature, salinity, and density varied between sites, with the Scheldt River, Cenflumarin dock, and pond being brackish.
- Hardness, pH, and nutrient levels differed depending on a site's geology, nutrient inputs, and biological activity. Agricultural sites tended to have higher nitrates.
- Values at the Cenflumarin dock changed significantly from 2014 to 2015 after its connecting lock was reopened.
- The data helps understand each site's water chemistry in relation to surrounding land use and biological and environmental factors.
Lead content in indian water system
This document presents information about lead content in the Indian water system. It discusses what lead is, its effects, and how it enters the water system through various sources like oceans, rivers, tap water, and wells. It finds that lead levels in Indian water ranges from 50 to 400 μg/L. Several cities in India are at high risk of lead contamination in their water. Steps are recommended to reduce lead levels, including testing water, checking pH levels, and restricting pollution from industries and leaded gasoline. The conclusion is that human activities have contributed greatly to rising lead levels in water.

The local water management district outlines ongoing and planned activities to monitor the lake and watershed and develop new management plans and studies.
Thesis Presentation - Riley Miller
This document summarizes a student's experiment investigating whether aquatic plants can combat ocean acidification by absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide. The student hypothesized that introducing duckweed to a carbon dioxide-acidified freshwater environment would increase the pH level. The experiment involved measuring the pH and number of duckweed fronds over 10 days in jars with and without duckweed exposed to carbon dioxide levels 10 times atmospheric concentration. The results showed no significant difference in pH changes or duckweed growth between the jars. While plants could help locally, the carbon dioxide levels used were too high for the duckweed to significantly affect acidification. Further experimentation is needed to fully understand the relationship between aquatic plants and ocean acidification.
Delegation re water conservation
This document summarizes the presenter's analysis of water usage and conservation goals in the Comox Valley region. The presenter argues that: (1) statements claiming the region uses twice the national average water usage are untrue, and the data used is old; (2) the goal to cut water usage by 27% is unnecessary as current usage is within license limits; and (3) large funds spent on conservation are unwarranted given available water supplies and infrastructure, and restrictions just result in wasted water. The presenter concludes the region was misled into embarking on expensive water metering and conservation efforts that are not actually needed.
Delegation re water conservation
We have met our water conservation goals. The document summarizes the author's perspective that the Comox Valley region does not actually have a water shortage problem despite previous claims. He argues the original comparisons used to justify water metering and conservation projects were misleading, and that current water usage is well within licensing limits. The author concludes spending on conservation should stop as the region has plenty of water and operates within guidelines, and that previous water restriction bylaws should be reinstated.

EPA Water Conference 2021 Posters
This document presents research on approaches to mitigate pollution from the herbicide MCPA (2-methyl-4-chloro-phenoxyacetic acid) in water catchments used as drinking water sources. The research monitored MCPA concentrations spatially and temporally in an agricultural catchment in Ireland that supplies drinking water. Key findings include: MCPA concentrations exceeded drinking water limits and persisted in the system; concentrations increased downstream; and concentrations correlated positively with improved grassland and negatively with rough grazing land use. The research demonstrates the need for enhanced monitoring and questions the sustainability of certain land uses like improved grassland near drinking water sources.

Signpost Seminar: Water quality - national problems, local solutionsEnvironmental Protection Agency, Ireland
This document discusses water quality issues in Ireland and solutions to address them. National water quality monitoring data shows 47% of rivers and 62% of estuaries are in unsatisfactory condition. The two most widespread problems are excess nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), with phosphorus and sediment issues impacting 60% of waters needing measures. Maps have been created to identify critical source areas for phosphorus and nitrogen losses from agriculture to target remediation efforts. Measures proposed include riparian buffers, wetlands, and nutrient management plans to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus at their sources and intercept transport pathways.Dr Pete Lunn, EPA, HSE and ESRI, Environment, Health and Wellbeing Conference...

Ireland has more than 73,000 km of river channels. If placed end-to-end, they could encircle the Earth almost twice. Three-quarters of these channels are very small streams that typically flow into larger rivers.
Biological monitoring has been carried out in Irish rivers since 1971. The current national river monitoring programme covers more than 13,000 km of river channel.
The national monitoring programme is run by the EPA and focuses on the main river channels rather than the smaller streams. The programme includes more than 2,800 sites sampled for biology, with almost half of these being sampled for physical and chemical parameters.
EPA Marine Phytoplankton Fact Sheet
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring phytoplankton in Ireland's marine environment.
The EPA and the Marine Institute sample phytoplankton in estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland. They carry out sampling three times during the summer and once during winter. At each location, they take water samples just below the surface and above the seabed. They use the samples to assess how much phytoplankton is in the water and what species are present.
Phytoplankton are tiny, free-floating plants found suspended in the world’s oceans. Their name comes from Greek and means ‘plant drifter’. They are carried along by ocean currents and are usually found floating near the surface of the water. Like all plants they need sunlight to grow.
The main sources of nutrients around Ireland’s coast are discharges from wastewater treatment plants and run off from agricultural land. Phytoplankton in the estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland are monitored by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) and the Marine Institute. They monitor phytoplankton to assess the quality (status) of our marine environment. They must do this as part of the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive.
EPA Marine Monitoring Fact Sheet
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s marine environment.
Ecologically healthy marine waters are a valuable natural resource. They support a rich and diverse range of ecosystems, habitats and species, and they are also a source of food – from wild fisheries and aquaculture. They are also important for recreational activities and tourism.
Transitional and coastal waters are assessed under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Having coordinated frameworks for water quality for all the water bodies in Ireland, and across Europe, allows us to compare our results with other countries. It allows us to see what works to help us make sure all our water bodies achieve at least ‘good’ status, and no deterioration occurs.
EPA Lake Monitoring Fact Sheet
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s lakes.
A total of 225 lakes are currently included as part of the national surface waters monitoring programme run by the EPA, this covers around 80% of the surface area of all lakes in Ireland.
This includes:
• all lakes greater than 50 hectares
• lakes that are used for supplying drinking water
• lakes that are of regional, local or scientific interest
EPA Lake Monitoring Aquatic Plants Fact Sheet
This Plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring aquatic plants in Irish lakes.
Aquatic plants are good at showing if the quality of the water is good or bad and play an important role in lake ecology by providing food and a habitat for many smaller plants, animals and birds.
They also:
• provide shelter for young fish
• help to improve the clarity of the water
• help stabilise lake shore banks
• reduce the amount of sediment being suspended in the water
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors these aquatic plants at more than 10,000 sites in over 200 lakes once every three years.

10. Restoring the River Camac - Mary-Liz Walshe, DCC
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for restoring the Camac River in Dublin City while managing flood risk, supporting urban renewal, and adapting to climate change. The river suffers from channelization, loss of floodplains and wetlands, and lengthy culverts. Restoration requires tackling existing issues and avoiding new pressures. Opportunities include maximizing green space, rezoning industrial lands, and creating a greenway. Successful restoration requires considering the whole catchment and securing sufficient land, and balancing priorities like flood protection, development, and environmental goals. Planning tools like new zoning objectives can help protect land for restoration and climate adaptation.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Equivariant neural networks and representation theory
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

Title: Gravitational wave detection with orbital motion of Moon and artificial
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe some recent ideas to find gravitational waves from supermassive black holes or of primordial origin by studying their secular effect on the orbital motion of the Moon or satellites that are laser ranged.Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Domestic Misconnections - Jayne Dobson DLRCC
- 1. Saturday 1st April 2017 Domestic Misconnections Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Experience
- 2. • What are domestic misconnections? • What problems do they cause for rivers and streams? • How have we fixed our misconnections and improved our water quality?
- 4. The Way It Should Be Foul wastewater going to the foul sewer and surface, uncontaminated water going to the surface water sewer.
- 5. Types of Misconnection • Separate and Combined Systems • Surface Water into Foul Sewer • Foul Wastewater into Surface Water Sewer
- 6. How Do You Know If You’re Misconnected?
- 12. Why Do We Want To Correct Misconnections? • Obvious reasons! • EU Legislation – Water Framework Directive • Magic number of 0.03mg/L Phosporus for ‘Good’ status
- 14. Improvements to Deansgrange Stream • In May 2006 we decided to focus on the Deansgrange Stream as it’s our most heavily polluted stream • 2 staff members went around and identified misconnections • Engaged with homeowner to fix the problem
- 15. Photos
- 16. The Results • The results were encouraging in that phosporus was reduced but we’re still not at the magic number of 0.03mg/L Location 1 Location 2 Location 3 Location 4 2005 0.2 0.31 0.1 0.1 2008 0.12 0.14 0.08 0.1 Phosporus (mg/l)
- 17. Improvements • Misconnections removed • In 2007/2008 a wetland was constructed in the Kilbogget Park section of Deansgrange Stream, downstream of Point 2, which helped remove even more phosporus
- 21. 0 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25 0.3 0.35 Location 1 Location 2 Location 3 Location 4 2005 2008 2012
- 22. Typical section of Deansgrange Stream
- 23. Conclusions • Finding and fixing misconnections is tedious work and can test the patience of staff but it has lasting beneficial effects on water quality • Building wetlands also has lasting beneficial effects • If you check your own house and suspect you have a misconnection, contact either Dublin City Council or DLR
- 24. Thank You!
