H33P:
Planning, Implementing, and Incorporating Nontraditional Water Sources in Water Supply Systems at Watershed Scale Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 53017

Session Description:
As population growth, climate variability and competition between multiple sectors continue to put severe stress on our limited freshwater sources, alternative water supply options are gaining a rapid momentum. Now the challenge is how to sustainably incorporate these alternative water supply sources (i.e. reclaimed wastewater, rainwater and stormwater harvesting, desalinated water, etc.) into the water supply systems at watershed scale. Effective planning tools, modeling techniques and policy considerations are key for sustainable management of these sources in relation to freshwater sources. This session will provide an opportunity for scientists and engineers from many disciplines to showcase their experience in planning, implementing, and managing nontraditional water sources at watershed scale via real-world examples.
