Planning, Implementing, and Incorporating Alternative Water Sources at Watershed Scale (from Theory to Practice)
Planning, Implementing, and Incorporating Alternative Water Sources at Watershed Scale (from Theory to Practice)
Session ID#: 74541
Session Description:
As population growth, climate variability and competition between multiple sectors continue to put severe stress on 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 alternative water sources at watershed scale from theory to practice.
