Innovations and Paradigm Shifts for Integrated Urban Water Management Seminar
Date and Location
July 16, 2008U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Urban Watershed Management Branch
Building 205 Conference Room
2890 Woodbridge Avenue
Edison, New Jersey, 08837
Morning Session (9.00am – 12:00 noon)
Theme: Integrated Stormwater Management in Urban Environments
- An overview of stormwater control and treatment; technologies and paradigm shifts.
- Significance of effective flow control and regulation coupled with storage and infiltration systems for flood control and mitigation of adverse wet-weather impacts.
- “Tomorrow’s world” and 25 years of effective inlet control and distributed storage for flood control and alleviation.
- Highlights of recent developments and advancements, particularly in relation to the importance of capturing and retaining sediments and their associated pollutants to prevent “pollutant washout.”
- Experiences with Field Monitoring of Stormwater Treatment Systems; protocols and the relevance of land use.
Afternoon Session (1.30pm – 3:30pm)
Theme: Addressing CSO Challenges with Innovation
- Paradigm shifts in current thinking and approaches to wet-weather management; importance of wastewater characterization.
- The significance and benefits of effective flow control and regulation coupled with the use of satellite treatment to achieve cost-effective wet-weather management.
- Highlights of recent developments and advancements involving the intensification of unit processes by achieving solids control, floatables capture and disinfection in the same vessel.
- Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the development and assessment of wet-weather treatment devices.
- The use of advanced vortex systems for CSO treatment and disinfection; the Saco WWTW Case Example.
