Cincinnati's approach for a city of the future
The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSDGC) is using a watershed-based approach for wet weather management and water quality improvements - approaches that consider existing conditions, leverage additional resources and investments, and develop “factor conditions” to support communities of the future. Focusing on a direct enabled and “inform & influence” strategy, as well as source control, MSD has developed an approach to evaluate sustainable infrastructure and systems opportunities within the service area. The goal is to provide: cost effective water quantity management, water quality improvement, and community enhancements.
Darling OWLS14 Presentation
This document summarizes a presentation about opportunities for water reuse and the challenges of developing recycled water projects. It notes that there are over 90 recycled water project locations in development across 14 states, representing 890,000 acre-feet per year of additional water and $6.4 billion in projected costs. However, the projects require around $2.8 billion in additional financial assistance from state and federal sources to be completed. The presentation argues that a 50% cost share partnership would allow projects to be financially viable and completed more quickly, helping to address water shortages in many areas of the western United States.

Before and after photos of school projects show transformations that help engage the public.
INFORM: Shahram Kharaghani
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.
INFORM: Adel Hagekhalil
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.
INFORM: Grace Chan
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

Lessons from operationalizing integrated landscape approaches

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
