Use it or loose it. The value of urban stormwater in cooling our citiesMartin O'Dea
This presentation for the Australian Stormwater Industry Association 2018 national conference looks at the value of urban stormwater for cooling our cities.
At 3:30pm on the 7th of January 2018, Penrith in Sydney’s Western Suburbs was the hottest city on the planet – at 47.3 degrees. With climate change, these extreme temperatures are going to be more regular occurrences. By 2036, the daily projected increase in runoff for nearby South Creek from urbanisation and treated sewerage flows will be greater than the maximum output of the Sydney Desalination plant.
Excess urban stormwater currently piped out of our catchments is a valuable resource. It provides opportunities for creating cool, green, and liveable cities. Using captured stormwater could provide a win¬-win outcome by reducing stream flows while greening the city.
The benefits of stormwater re-use include:
• Improved human thermal comfort.
• Decreased stormwater flows, and reduction in stream erosion.
• Reduced detention basin sizing and greater space for the public realm.
• Greener, cooler, inviting lawns that are not rock hard to play on.
• Resilient sports fields, capable of handling more wear and tear.
• Cooler pedestrian spaces through evapotranspiration and shade.
• Faster tree growth leading to greater canopy cover and more shade.
• Increased carbon capture rates.
• Cooler pavements and a reduction in urban heat island effect, from street tree shade.
There are two big ideas that guide this direction:
• The Climate Sensitive City – proposed by the CRC for climate change resilience.
• Sponge Cities – Proposed by Chinese Landscape Architect Kongjian Yu, to slow down and re-use stormwater where it is captured.
While there are still some barriers to reuse - including cost and legislation, there are great examples on the east coast. The big picture benefit, of local capture and re-use is the ability to build a bigger buffer in water supply dams for when it is needed. This paper looks at capture and re-use projects ranging in size from domestic to suburb scales, including:
• Domestic rainwater tanks which have many benefits, but also suffer from lack of understanding by the average householder.
• Passive irrigation of street trees.
• The benefits of type two raingardens in retaining water.
• Sustainable Parkland and wetland projects including the Coal loader platform, Sydney Park, and The Ponds riparian corridor.
• Green roofs including the Victorian Desalination Plant.
• Sports Fields capture and reuse projects including Peel Reserve at The Ponds, Blacktown International Sports Park and Cintra watershed in Canada Bay.
• Suburb scale solutions – by using stormwater for drinking water in the innovative Warrnambool Root to tap scheme.
The end outcome is to help create cool, green, liveable cities through stormwater re-use.
Getting the Lead Out: How Lansing, Michigan Replaced 13,500 Lead Service Line...Environmental Initiative
Lansing is one of only two cities in the United States to have completely replaced their lead service lines and is advising Flint, Michigan in the wake of their drinking water crisis. Scott Hamelink talked about how and why Lansing replaced their lead pipes, focusing on the methods that allowed them to cut the cost of replacement by more than half.

Get ready for Industrial Internet of thingsSalah Riahi
Until now, Wifi technology was extremely energy greedy and unreliable. Users working on structural health monitoring and condition monitoring were more inclined to deploy proprietary wireless sensor networks offering a better reliability and a low power operation.
Thanks to more than 8 years of experience in sensing technology, our research and development team worked intensively with our customers on WILO® (for Wifi Low Power) technology, a new generation of WIFI sensors (vibration, inclination and shock) which is reliable, ultra-low power and open-standard.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. Why Are We Here?
Riverdale Water
Company (RWC) is
seeking a contract to
supply the Town of
Northbridge with high-
quality, affordable water
through the Northbridge-
owned distribution
system.
2
3. About Riverdale Water Company
Northbridge-based Riverdale Water Company, LLC was formed in
2003 to engage in the distribution and sale of water for drinking,
domestic and industrial purposes, and the protection against fire in
within the Town of Northbridge
Riverdale Water Company was founded in 2000 with the purchase
of a 47-acre parcel located off Quaker St.
RWC drilled many exploratory wells until it found a location where
excellent aquifer material was protected by an overlying clay layer
RWC currently sells water to bulk water haulers who use it for
swimming pools and cooling water for power plants
3
4. Town of Northbridge: Current Situation
Excessive levels of iron in
the brain have been linked
Two Piping Systems
Whitinsville Water Company (WWC) to Alzheimer's and
owned and Town of Northbridge owned Parkinson’s disease
2,234 households are served by the
Northbridge system
Northbridge’s Current Water Supply, provided by
WWC, Contains Levels of Iron and Manganese
That Sometimes Exceed The National Secondary
Maximum Contaminant Levels
Undesirable aesthetics
Damage to water handling equipment
WWC’s supply, influenced by surface water, must
be treated, driving up cost for Northbridge
residents
WWC, in a report to the Department of
Public Utilities projected the construction Certain populations should
cost of the now operational water not ingest more than 0.3
treatment plant to be $5.9 M mg/L of manganese for
greater than 10 consecutive
days
4
5. Town of Northbridge: Current Situation
No Secondary Source of Water in Case of Emergency
Wasting Water
30% of water pumped through the Northbridge system is being
wasted because of leaking, inefficient water pipes
One of the highest unaccounted-for-water percentage in the
state
MassDep recommends that unaccounted-for-water should be
10% or lower
5
6. Solution: It’s All About the Water
RWC has developed, permitted and constructed a new source of water
at no capital cost to Northbridge
More than $1.1 M has been spent to develop the source and
build a pumping station
Since our last meeting…
Completed two pumping wells
Built a pumping station that will be operable in March
6
7. Solution: It’s All About the Water
RWC’s source is unique as it has no iron
or manganese
The concentration of iron found
in WWC’s water supply ranges
from 0-2 mg/L and the
concentration for manganese
ranges from 0-0.36 mg/L
RWC’s aquifer, at 90 to 124 feet below
ground, is protected by a thick layer of
silt and clay, ensuring no surface water
is able to cause contamination
RWC has the ability to supply 277 million
gallons per year
Town purchased 191 million
gallons wholesale from WWC in
2009
7
8. Why Is This Important to Northbridge?
Health
Residents of Northbridge will receive healthy, quality water free of iron and
manganese
Aesthetics
Northbridge’s water supply will not cause damage to property coming into
contact with water
Emergency Preparedness
With a secondary supplier such as RWC, Northbridge will be prepared in
case of drought or other emergencies
RWC will be ready to supply water in April (pending permit approval) as
drought-season approaches
8
9. Why Is This Important to Northbridge?
Economic
Leaking, inefficient pipes will be replaced as RWC stands ready to
apply for Federal and/or State grants to upgrade pipes
By conserving water, excess water would be available to sell to
adjacent towns, generating revenue for Northbridge
Estimated $150,000 to $260,000 in revenue based on water
saved by repaired pipes
Potential reduction in water costs for residents and businesses
connected to Northbridge pipes
9
10. Next Steps
Receive Letter of Intent From Board of Selectmen
to Prove RWC’s Customer Base
Secure State Permit to Expand Approved Pumping Volume From 0.138 million
gallons per day to 0.76 million gallons per day
Northbridge Contract with RWC to Supply Water to the Customers of the
Northbridge Distribution System (up to 277 million gallons per year)
RWC to Apply for Federal and/or State Grants to Detect and Repair Leaks in Pipes
