Global Water Intelligence (GWI)’s Post

WATER IN NUMBERS | The top 25 US water systems by 20-year investment needs 💧 An analysis of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s recent Drinking Water (2023) and Clean Watershed Needs Surveys (2024) undertaken by GWI has highlighted the water and wastewater agencies grappling with the most sizable 20-year investment needs across the US.

It’s worrying to read that efforts to clean up England’s rivers, lakes and seas have been described as poor.  Watchdog The Office for Environmental Protection (OEP), a statutory body, said that the government is going to miss its target to improve water quality because its plans need more funding, commitment and detail.  Only 16% of our waterways are rated as having Good Ecological Status, but the government’s target is to have this increase to 77% by 2027. The OEP report says this isn’t going to be achieved and 21% is more likely. At Suprafilt Ltd, we’re proud to supply and install aeration systems that contribute to cleaning up the wastewater discharged into rivers, lakes and the sea. Through our commitment to continuous innovation into our technology, we strike to make a positive impact on the environment through carbon reduction and energy-saving methods. I hope greater efforts will go into improving water health – hopefully this report should serve as a wake-up call for those in power.

We're excited to introduce a new quarterly briefing from ARRO featuring critical environmental news and insights. Stay tuned here on our LinkedIn page once a quarter for our Environmental Digest! This quarter, we take a deep dive into COD, BOD, and CBOD—key indicators in assessing water quality, particularly in wastewater treatment and environmental monitoring. Understanding these vital concepts helps to better protect our water resources. Read on to learn more! #EnvironmentalInsights #WaterQuality #ARROEnvironmentalDigest

A question that I get asked consistently is what is the difference between COD, BOD, and CBOD so we wrote about it! Stay tuned for the next environmental digest.

Big news for Florida-based water systems! ☀️🌴 Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) approved #predictivemodeling for lead service line inventory. But what does this mean, exactly? Read our recent blog post to learn how to best utilize predictive modeling as a method for classifying service lines of unknown material as "non-lead" and much more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYmQXw6E #LSLI #watersystems #gettheleadout

Wet weather discharges present challenges for water utilities. Although many different approaches have been tried, studies show that concerns about regulatory programs for wet weather discharges remain unaddressed. At California Stormwater Quality Association Annual Conference 2024, Exponent’s Susan Paulsen, Ph.D., P.E., will present “Water Quality Compliance During Wet Weather: Lessons and Recommendations.” The session will explore the results of studies, as well as recommendations that US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and states invest in and develop guidance for Clean Water Act programs, including evaluating water quality standards; applying financial capability assessments (FCAs) and compliance schedules to prioritize permit implementation over time; and enabling the use of sustainable, nature-based solutions. Join the session at 11:15-11:40 a.m. PDT. Register: https://hubs.li/Q02V7T6Y0 Connect with Dr. Paulsen: https://hubs.li/Q02V7Rsg0 #Exponent #Event #WaterQuality #Compliance #EarthSciences

Since the Water Quality Policy commenced in January 2016, several areas of opportunity have emerged that have the potential to enhance protections of South Australia’s surface, marine and underground waters. The purpose of the Environment Protection (Water Quality) Policy 2015 Review discussion paper is to provide a review of the current policy and invite stakeholders to share their own perspectives on a specific set of questions posed in the paper. The discussion paper contains opportunities including improved water protections and better alignment with other marine codes and guidelines. Consultation is now open, and we invite you to have yourSAy on the discussion paper: https://ow.ly/pfRl50TJow7 #yoursay #waterquality
