Urban Stormwater Capture and Use (SCU) has the potential to add flexibility to water resource portfolios and enhance climate resilience. Nationally, two significant hurdles to implementing SCU are quantifying the amount of stormwater available for use/reuse and characterizing and quantifying the anticipated co-benefits of SCU. The Water Research Foundation (WRF) project 5236, Diversifying Water Portfolios through Stormwater Capture and Use: Contributing to a Water Resilient Future, has addressed these critical hurdles to implementing SCU at both national and western-state scales.
WRF project 5236 benefits water utilities and water managers across the United States by providing adaptable and streamlined methodologies to navigate their unique geographical, economic, and volumetric landscapes when considering the incorporation of stormwater as a water resource development strategy.
This webcast will provide an overview of project 5236. Presenters will describe the proven methodologies and their applications that can support the integration of SCU projects at the local, state, and regional scales by:
- Integrating co-benefits into water management and investment decisions
- Creating enabling conditions that contribute to more water resilient and healthier communities.
Presenters:
- Shannon Spurlock, Senior Researcher, Public Policy and Practice Uptake, Pacific Institute
- Jane Clary, Vice President/Principal Scientist, Wright Water Engineers, Inc.
- Morgan Shimabuku, Senior Researcher, Pacific Institute
- Janet Clements, President/Chief Executive Officer, One Water Econ
Moderators:
- Harry Zhang, PhD, PE, Research Principal on Integrated Water and Stormwater, The Water Research Foundation
