Register now for the 12/13 California Water Data Consortium panel discussion on lessons learned in the new application of OpenET water data reporting in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This panel, moderated by Jay Ziegler State Water Resources Control Board, will share the story of how OpenET was adopted as the central platform for water reporting in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Panel discussion will explore: What’s needed to succeed in adopting new water data reporting systems? Lessons learned from OpenET in the Delta? And, what is the work ahead?

✨ Are you interested in learning about how your utility can embrace digital technologies, but don't know where to start? Look no further! Register today to attend this SWAN - The Smart Water Networks Forum and The Water Research Foundation (WRF) webcast and hear directly from utility representatives on how their utilities started their digital transformation journey. ✨

Today, utilities are amassing vast amounts of data on their operations, employing cutting-edge technology tools to extract insights. Yet, the true value of this data lies in its ability to drive operational improvements and simplify decision-making for operators and managers.

I look forward to participating in the Accelerating Nature-based Solutions Conference, hosted by the @Global EverGreening Alliance, the Government of Zambia, AFR100, @African Natural Capital Alliance, @FSD Africa, and the @UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. On March 13 at 9:00 am GMT+2, I will join a panel discussion on Nature-based Solutions (NbS), carbon sequestration, and credit generation. We will delve into the pivotal role of Impact Standards and credits in NbS, with a focus on how this applies to the Global EverGreening Alliance (GEA) program Restore Africa. Finally, we will explore how GIS and associated technologies are shaping the future of NbS.

Those working in water know we need to change how we (we = everyone in our society) manage our valuable water resource, be it floods, supply or pollution. My colleague Richard will be discussing this at the World Water Tech summit. Let's make integrated water management the norm.

Exciting news for those interested in water innovation and economic development! Join us on May 7th, 2024, from 12 to 1pm CST/1 to 2pm EST for a FREE virtual panel discussion on "Smart Lake Erie Watershed—Driving Economic Development Through Innovation." As CWA's contribution to Chicago Water Week, this webinar will explore how the power of water data drives innovation, economic development, and protection of our natural resources. The panel will feature industry, utility, and research leaders who will discuss the lessons we can learn from the "Smart Lake Erie Watershed" and how we could scale them across the Great Lakes. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with regional leaders, innovators, researchers, advocates, and industry veterans about business, social, technical, policy interests, and more. The panel features Aaron Klein, Bob Davis, Emily Hamilton, Kenneth Gibbons, and Kerry Caslow in conversation with moderator Max Herzog.

This month, the latest issue of the Global Water Intelligence (GWI) magazine has release an exciting story about Island nations such as Jamaica, Fiji, Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago are embracing performance-based NRW reduction contracts. At MIYA, we are we haven been carrying out this kind of projects for over 10 years, are ready to embark on new projects and to become the go to solution for NRW water projects not only among Island nations but worldwide. We are delighted that our CEO, Noam Komy was invited to take part in this story. In Noam´s words: “We strongly believe in our ability to achieve the results, and that we can guarantee that by taking significant exposure via the performance-based mechanism. All our NRW projects are designed to repay themselves by the savings created by the NRW reduction over the lifetime of the contract.” 💧FIGURES • In Kingston and Saint Andrews, Jamaica, in the period between 2015 and 2021, Non-Revenue Water dropped from 69% to 37%.  • In Portmore, Jamaica, since the inception of the project, Non-Revenue Water was reduced from 61% to 46%.  • In Nassau, Bahamas, since 2012, Non-Revenue Water has decreased from 58% to 22%. 

Bunkerspot’s February/March 2024 issue featured an article, “Under the radar”, which highlighted the Sustainable First Movers Initiative (SMFI) identification tool developed by LR Maritime Decarbonisation Hub and Environmental Defense Fund, in collaboration with Arup, to help shipping stakeholders align investment decisions that support the maritime energy transition away from fossil fuels.   Ports, as key hubs for transport and energy systems, are critical enablers to foster first mover initiatives – such as green corridors or energy hubs. They play a key role in unlocking investments for the incubation and scale up of electrofuels (i.e. fuels that have net zero carbon emissions throughout their lifecycle) and clean technologies in a way that is sustainable and inclusive of regional stakeholders, especially those most vulnerable to environmental impacts, particularly port-side communities.   The SMFI tool identifies port locations that maximise both the environmental and community benefits of first mover initiatives in support of shipping’s energy transition, in a way that is inclusive and sustainable and does not undermine or exploit resources in economically vulnerable regions, like the Global South.   You can read the article, “Under the radar”, below.
