Greenville Water’s Post

The past few years we have seen unprecedented conditions in facing the impacts of the imbalance between supply and demand on the Colorado River system. This imbalance has made it extremely challenging to focus on long-term river management when we're moving from crisis to crisis. Take a look at the five essential principles that form the foundation of WRA's policy blueprint in our latest blog post. #Coloradoriver #ADWR https://lnkd.in/g6ycyVjZ

Let's make the survival of the Colorado River and Basin clear and straightforward: PRINCIPLE 1. NO WATER CUTS! Just import a water volume of at least 25% of Colorado River flow (4 million acre-ft per year) from the Pacific Mexican rivers by TRANSOCEANIC (transoceanic.us). PRINCIPLE 2. The massive water imports should solve the water problems in the present and future conditions. PRINCIPLE 3. Maintain healthy river flow (irrigation water returns should be drained and maintained at an acceptable salt content). PRINCIPLES 4 & 5. Include all interested parties including tribes, NW Mexico, and Upper Colorado Basin states in decision-making and water access; water imports should solve water requirements for all, forever.

Big news in the world of #WaterSystems! The @EPA is taking action to protect our water sources by proposing a stronger Lead and Copper Rule. This means that all water systems in the US will have to replace lead service lines within the next decade. Check out the insights from Black & Veatch expert Francesca McCann for more details on this important development. 💧🚰

Great story from the Salt Lake Tribune about the Great Salt Lake. The article features our affiliate, Utah Division of Water Resources and its director Candace Hasenyager. It talks about 10 things that are being done -- and can be done -- that will help preserve the Great Salt Lake. Things like: legislative support, expanded research, strategic planning, education and outreach, and our personal favorite: investment in increased water measurement and data collection. As we improve water measurement tools, and pay close attention to water quantity, flow, and use, we will be able to gather the best possible information needed to make decisions on how to manage and appropriate the waters of the state. https://lnkd.in/gnjfG89N #waterrights #waterresoures #waterquality #GreatSaltLake #collection #waterdata #watermeasurement #utleg #utah

Manatee County, Florida, known for its scenic beaches and growing population, lands in the 67th spot on the fastest-growing counties in the US. This population boom brings forth various challenges, one of which is ensuring the provision of efficient and adequate wastewater treatment. The county is served primarily by two main facilities: The Southwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility (SWRWRF) and the smaller Bradenton Wastewater Treatment Plant. The SWRWRF, operated by the Manatee County Utilities Department (MCUD), processes about 13.3 million gallons of wastewater per day. While this facility does an exceptional job serving the current population, the rapid growth of the county signals an upcoming demand that might overwhelm the current capabilities. The Bradenton Wastewater Treatment Plant, although its exact size is unspecified, it is estimated to process considerably less than SWRWRF, perhaps around half of its size. Recognizing the need for adequate preparation in response to this growth, a strategic plan for expansion is in place. Instead of a complete overhaul of the existing systems, the plan involves constructing a new facility parallel to the SWRWRF. This approach will utilize existing knowledge and operational efficiency of the current plant, effectively doubling the wastewater treatment capacity, and ensuring that Manatee County's wastewater treatment capabilities keep pace with the county's growth, which would need around 35 to 40 MGD wastewater treatment in 2030. With this expansion, Manatee County makes a commitment to sustainable growth, guaranteeing clean water for its rapidly expanding population, and safeguarding the natural beauty of its environment for future generations. #water #wastewater #engineering #innovation
