Water with Will - a bit late this week. Let the fun begin with the Colorado River. A recap. From the November 20th Colorado Sun, the Bureau of Reclamation overview of five water management options. "Alternative 1, would stick closely to the current rules, which were established in 2007 and are widely regarded as insufficient because they allowed the reservoirs to fall so low. Under this plan, Lake Powell could release anywhere from 5 million to 9.5 million acre-feet down to the Lower Basin states — Arizona, California and Nevada. Other reservoirs, like Blue Mesa in Colorado, might be called on to help with these releases, and the Lower Basin could have to cut its use by up to 3.5 million acre-feet. Alternative 2 would require all basin states, even Colorado, to conserve water during times of shortage and it would involve multiple federal reservoirs, like Blue Mesa, the largest reservoir in Colorado. Upper Basin officials from Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah argue they should not have to conserve water because the states already use less than their full share of the river. They also say the new management rules should only include lakes Mead and Powell. Alternative 3 incorporates ideas from conservation organizations. Under this option, Lake Powell could release more water: Its maximum releases could reach 11 million acre-feet, which is higher than the 9.5 million acre-feet listed in other options. This proposal also includes basinwide cutbacks, including more conservation in the Lower Basin — a maximum of 4 million acre-feet compared with 3.5 million acre-feet included in other alternatives. Alternative 4 aims to blend competing proposals submitted by upper and lower basin states and tribal nations. Under this draft alternative, Lake Powell might be required to release 12 million acre-feet and to pull water from upstream reservoirs depending on the conditions in the basin. This alternative includes provisions to ensure tribal nations will be involved in water management. It calls for basinwide cutbacks when water is short and calls for less Lower Basin conservation —maximum cutbacks are listed as 2.1 million acre-feet. The draft released Wednesday is part of a long, federal process. For the new rules to be ready at the start of 2027, the federal government must have a finalized agreement by August 2026." It is worth tracking how this plays out and whether the final outcome actually addresses the challenges facing the Colorado River.

The extreme rainfall in the UAE last April highlighted the urgent need for advanced solutions to protect communities and infrastructure across the region. In this context, the Xylem Vue powered by GoAigua platform plays a crucial role with its Early Warning System (EWS) module. The #EWS module leverages cutting-edge technologies such as: 🌧️ Real-time monitoring 📊 Extreme event forecasting 🚨 Automated alerts 🗺️ Intuitive visualization 🗣️ Christian Pérez Hernández, Christian Perez, Senior Business Development Manager - digital, Middle East and Turkey at Xylem, emphasized: "One of the greatest strengths of our EWS module is its ability to generate real-time alerts, giving authorities and utilities a critical window to make proactive decisions." 🔗 Read the full article in Water & Wastewater Asia: https://lnkd.in/d_mtpT4u #watermanagement #digitaltransformation #floods

📰 Discover the innovations transforming flood management in the Ebro River Basin, highlighted on page 16 of the whitepaper by the International Water Association, "The Digitalisation Journey of Urban Climate Resilience: Case Studies on Flood Management and Resilience." Idrica, in collaboration with the Ebro River Basin Authority (CHE), has implemented an Early Warning System (EWS) to enhance flood resilience in the region. This system, integrated with Xylem Vue powered by GoAigua, leverages cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to provide real-time insights for effective risk prevention and management. Key features of the EWS: ☑️ Real-time probabilistic hydrological and hydraulic models. ☑️ Intelligent recommendations for dam management and damage reduction. ☑️ Geostatistical corrections to enhance the accuracy of predictions and flood mapping. ☑️ Tailored alerts delivered days or hours in advance. 🔗 Learn more about this transformative project in the full whitepaper here: https://lnkd.in/d2yDbrfD #DigitalWater #FloodManagement

Richard Lancaster, Technical Fellow and Director of Bioresources AtkinsRéalis UK, visited GTC recently to develop the Bioresources team here with a vision of eventually developing a Global Centre of Excellence for Bioresources of which GTC will also be a part.   He was accompanied by Stephen Riches, Associate Director, Bioresources, UK. It was a pleasure to meet them in person as they shared their expertise with the Water team with regards to the critical role of bioresources in driving sustainability and advancing the #circular economy. It was a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas,  and explore #innovative solutions in the #bioresources field. Thanks to Anindya Chattopadhyay, CEng, MIEI, Afroz Ahmed and Ayush Srivastava for organising the enriching workshop. Each session was thoroughly enjoyed by the team.

Everyone knows... I am in love with Portugal.. But......! Back in the UK, felt so good! Where I used to live from 2005-2008... This time with a Dutch delegation of high water-tech companies for two intense days in Brighton! Apart from an amazing run along this stunning coastline, it’s been a packed program of knowledge exchange and, most importantly, building valuable connections. A big thank you to @BritishWater Southernwaters Energy and all the organizations and individuals contributing to this event. It’s great to see how the UK and the Netherlands can inspire each other in water innovation. Looking forward to the collaborations ahead!

On Monday, we toured Southern Water's Peacehaven facility, a showcase of innovative water treatment. The day continued with insightful roundtable discussions with public sector stakeholders, exploring opportunities to advance sustainable water and emission management solutions. The next day, we attended the Annual British Water Conference at the Grand Hotel in Brighton. This event brought together industry leaders to discuss the future of water technologies and sustainability. It was an excellent platform to exchange ideas, share our expertise, and foster new partnerships. As part of our mission to expand in the UK, we are actively seeking a representative to help drive innovation and sustainability in the water industry. If you’re interested in making an impact, let’s connect!
