Dear IAH-WA members, Please join the IAH WA branch for our upcoming June tech talk, where we are pleased to host Dr. Konrad Miotliński. Date: Wednesday 26th June 2024 Venue: Theatrette @ Central Park Fellowship: 1730 to 1800 Talk: 1800 to 1900 Title: Impact of fire on groundwater recharge Wildland fires are increasingly common and severe, significantly impacting drinking water resources. While predictions of post-wildfire stream flows exist, our understanding of fire effects on groundwater recharge remains limited. In this talk, we introduce a conceptual model that illustrates the time-variable nature of recharge and identify the conditions under which it should be applied. We also demonstrate methods for evaluating spatial variations in recharge following wildfires. Lastly, we discuss the need for targeted monitoring efforts if adverse trends in the wildfire regime continue. This talk aims to enhance our understanding of fire-water interactions and inform strategies for sustainable water resource management in fire-prone regions. About the speaker: Dr. Konrad Miotliński is a hydrogeologist with 20 years of international experience in research, academia, and consulting. He is passionate about water quality and the development of computational models to address complex issues in water resources. Recently, Konrad developed a model to assess the impact of wildfires on drinking water quality in the Perth Hills catchments.

The poster “Long-Term Aeration Management of a Large New England Water Supply Reservoir” will be presented by Benjamin Burpee, PhD, CLM and Benjamin Rach Tuesday, October 22, at 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm at the Campus Center Auditorium during the AEHS Foundation East Coast Conference. Focusing on the 2023 aerator installation at Shenipsit Lake, this presentation will review and summarize 40 years of management at Shenipsit Lake and showcase lessons learned and recent work conducted to build resiliency, manage future cyanobacteria episodes, and address the unique issues of this specific waterbody. https://lnkd.in/g2zzWQT3

What are the key takeaways IBHS researchers found from the Lahaina Fire? IBHS’s latest report highlights the importance of structure spacing, connective fuels and building materials in fire spread within the built environment. The path forward? A system of mitigations at both the community and parcel levels is necessary to reduce the intensity and likelihood of conflagration.

How diverse disciplines interconnected with each other to understand surface and groundwater behaviour, we learned from the leading groundwater experts here. More to learn in the future! 🌟 Thank you, NCGRT! Glad to be part of this successful training.

Talk is cheap. Or at least the Technical Writing & Presentation Development course I'm teaching again this year for the GRA: Groundwater Resources Association of California's Groundwater 101 Week is. If you want to bolster your communication skillset, you should consider registering. You don't even have to know anything about groundwater! Don't take it from me, here are some actual reviews: "This was an excellent session that exceeded my expectations. I learned a lot and was engaged the whole time. The presentation was very well prepared and full of practical tips and relevant examples." "The instructor was able to make a quite "boring" topic rather interesting. He had good tips for both presentations and general grammar with examples. I appreciated his showing of graphical presentations and their effectiveness." "Best session!" and my personal favorite: "GREAT course...simple, clear, and concise with just the right amount of injected humor! Trying how to tactfully let my supervisor know he NEEDS to attend!"

👩💻 Delighted to share a glimpse of my work and passion, which revolves around the stewardship of water resources, both surface and groundwater. 💧 👉 Unlocking Ecuador's Karst Systems: Safeguarding Our Water Resources Karst systems, renowned for their vulnerability to contamination, hold the key to effective groundwater management. In our upcoming publication, we delve into the critical importance of comprehensively characterizing these systems to protect our invaluable water resources. Join us on an exploration of Ecuador's karst landscapes using open-access thematic cartography. Through meticulous analysis of lithological, geomorphological, and hydrographic factors, we unravel the intricate tapestry of groundwater karst systems. Harnessing the power of the APLIS method, we unveil the secrets of diffusive recharge within each system. Our findings shed light on the dynamic interactions shaping Ecuador's karst environments, empowering us to make informed decisions for sustainable water management. Stay tuned as we unveil the insights gleaned from this groundbreaking study, illuminating the path toward safeguarding Ecuador's water security. #KarstSystems #GroundwaterManagement #WaterSecurity #EcuadorResearch 💙
