IHA Congress 2011 - Session 8b - Andrew Scanlon
The document discusses balancing competing objectives for downstream river flows from hydroelectric dams in Tasmania, Australia. It provides examples of how Hydro Tasmania manages water flows from several large dams to meet the needs of hydroelectric power generation, environmental protection, and stakeholder expectations. Specific competing objectives at the Cataract Gorge site include the flow needs of threatened plant and snail species that require different flow conditions. The presentation emphasizes finding the proper balance between these competing objectives when setting rules and targets for downstream water releases.
sea water and uses
As drought continues in Texas and other western states, desalination is often discussed as a solution to water scarcity but presents issues. Desalination requires significant electricity which in Texas primarily comes from fossil fuel plants that use large amounts of water. However, Texas has abundant wind and solar resources that could power desalination with negligible water usage and emissions. Recent studies show opportunities for wind and solar to power desalination plants. Solar in particular provides economic, health and seasonal benefits as costs fall and technology like solar-powered desalination becomes more efficient. The drought in Texas requires a suite of solutions including water conservation, reuse and treating brackish water with renewable energy to maximize new resources rather than relying on any single approach

It highlights an interview with Andy Der on National Public Radio about a Supreme Court case defining "navigable waters". It also mentions a new BBC series linking to SER's Indigenous Peoples' Restoration Network and how SER's definition of restoration guided Montana's Governor's Restoration Forum. The newsletter advertises SER's new online Career Center and the release of a DVD from their 2005 conference on traditional ecological knowledge.
HOW HUMANS AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT-Markeyla Robinson
Humans impact the water cycle through greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming and melting ice, and through deforestation which reduces evapotranspiration. The Flint, Michigan water crisis demonstrates how human actions directly affected the water cycle - switching the city's water source to the Flint River contaminated the water with lead, poisoning thousands of children and requiring over $1 billion to address the extensive damage to infrastructure and public health. While intending to save money, the state of Michigan's actions inadvertently harmed the local population and environment through contaminated water.
The Energy / Water Nexus - Stacy Tellinghuisen, Western Resource Advocates
The document discusses the nexus between water and energy. It notes that thermoelectric power plants in western states consumed 292 million gallons of water per day in 2005. Both the energy and water sectors are vulnerable to drought. Drought can force power plant shutdowns and curtailments and increase electricity costs. The document examines water use for different energy technologies and the impacts of drought on energy reliability. It suggests that managing water-related risks will require valuing water resources, recognizing drought risk, and making informed choices about water-efficient energy options.
Rain water
The document discusses rainwater harvesting systems that have been successfully implemented in remote bush villages in Vanuatu to provide daily water supplies. It notes that over 1 billion people lack access to basic water and several billion lack adequate sanitation. The systems constructed in Vanuatu villages use local materials and human power to collect and store rainwater and spring water at low cost and in a maintainable way. Photos show examples of 12-ton and 7-ton rainwater harvesting systems as well as spring water collection and ram pumps implemented in the villages.
Water & Biodiversity
1) Freshwater supplies are becoming increasingly scarce as the global population grows and water is wasted through unsustainable practices.
2) Many areas will face water shortages by 2025 if practices do not change, threatening both human and aquatic populations.
3) Solutions like improved agricultural techniques and water conservation can help ease shortages, but widespread action is needed to address this growing crisis.

The Hawaii state government is proposing to spend $30 million over two years to repair the leaking reflecting pools at the State Capitol building. The pools have deteriorated after 50 years and now require rebuilding walls, installing a false bottom to make maintenance easier, and adding filtration and chlorine treatment. Some lawmakers question the large costs for maintenance. Reflecting pools at other capitol buildings like the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. also struggle with persistent algae growth issues despite repair efforts. Proper maintenance of reflecting pools requires balancing the water chemistry and controlling nutrient levels that feed algae growth.A.Strobridge-GGS Presentation
The document discusses traditional stormwater management versus green infrastructure and their impacts on the Chesapeake Bay watershed. It notes that traditional stormwater management allows pollutants to wash into waterways from impervious surfaces, negatively affecting water quality. Green infrastructure can help by using techniques that slow water flow and filter out pollution, reducing the burden on wastewater systems. The document encourages communities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed to implement green infrastructure plans to create a cleaner Bay.

Western Lake Erie “impairment” designation: What does it mean? How can it hap...Ohio Environmental Council
This document discusses waterway impairment designations under the Clean Water Act. It explains that if water quality criteria for a waterway are not met, it is considered "impaired" and requires a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) to limit pollutants. The TMDL process for the Chesapeake Bay is discussed as a case study, including litigation that led to its establishment and requirements for states to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads by certain percentages and timelines. Nonpoint sources are included in TMDLs and states must describe plans to achieve load reductions.Earth Law Center: Rights of Rivers

The clean water act Rachel Kyle
The Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 in response to growing public concern about water pollution. It established the basic structure for regulating water pollution discharges into U.S. waters. The Act set water quality standards and established pollution control programs. However, even after 30 years of regulation, water pollution remains a major problem, with many rivers, lakes and estuaries still contaminated according to EPA reports. The Clean Water Act faces threats from legal challenges and weakened enforcement.
Final Form
The document discusses the costs and benefits of removing dams. It notes that while dam removal can help restore river ecology by allowing fish passage and sediment movement, it may also negatively impact reservoir habitats and release toxins from sediments. Case studies show dam removal improved fish diversity but also initially increased turbidity. An analysis should weigh ecological and economic factors to determine if removal criteria are met for a particular dam.

The document discusses strategies for saving water and energy, including promoting conservation, efficiency, and water reuse. It notes that water-related energy use accounts for a significant portion of total US energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Improving water efficiency can help reduce energy demand equivalent to shutting down dozens of coal power plants. The document advocates a comprehensive approach including education, standards, utility programs, and alternative water sources to maximize potential savings.
Drinking Source Water Protection in Ontario June 2014
The document summarizes drinking water source protection in Ontario. It discusses the Walkerton tragedy in 2000 where contaminated drinking water killed 7 people. This led to the Clean Water Act of 2006 which legally mandates source water protection. It established 19 source protection regions, including the CTC region. The CTC region has 3 source protection areas, including the Toronto and Region area which has 11 lake water intakes and 21 groundwater wells supplying drinking water. Threats to drinking water sources in the region were identified in the source protection plan, but none were found in vulnerable areas. The document emphasizes protecting drinking water sources is the first step to ensuring a sustainable and safe drinking water supply.
New efforts in planning for large scale ecosystem restoration in the Sacramen...
The Delta Stewardship Council (Council) is responsible for promoting the coequal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem that forms the upper portion of the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary. The Council is responsible for writing an enforceable Delta Plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh. After a multi-year development process that included extensive public engagement and scientific synthesis, the Council, in 2020, authorized initiation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental review of its proposed amendment to the Delta Plan focused on ecosystem protection, restoration, and enhancement. The amendment consists of six new and revised ecosystem performance measures, an updated narrative which includes four new and revised policies and 14 recommendations, and seven technical and regulatory appendices. The amendment is novel in that it focuses on landscape-scale process-based restoration, acknowledges the many social benefits from ecosystem restoration, utilizes advanced technical climate change analyses informed by best available science, and employs more rigorous tracking of progress in meeting Delta Plan objectives. The amendment embraces a portfolio of approaches to adaptively manage ecosystems in highly altered and changing landscapes, and strives to reestablish ecological processes in natural communities at a sufficient scale (and with connectivity, complexity, and diversity) to be resilient to land conversion and climate change. This digital poster will describe the collaborative science-driven process the Council used in developing the amendment, the draft currently under environmental review, and lessons for resource managers in other systems facing the challenge of planning ecosystem recovery amidst ongoing anthropogenic stressors and a rapidly changing climate.
