How combining real-world data with experimental surveys — both upstream and downstream of wastewater treatment plants — help reveal the drivers of ecological change.

Part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series.

In the past, asbestos cement pipes have been frequently installed in water distribution systems. These pipes were favoured to replace metallic pipes because of relatively better corrosion resistance properties. However, the longevity and serviceability of deteriorating asbestos cement pipes is a major concern in many jurisdictions.

Join Water Institute member and Geography and Environmental Management professor, Brent Doberstein, for CHEW – a food, film and dialogue series.

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Richard Luthy, from Stanford University, California, presents "Urban Water Supply Re-invention for Dry Cities."

Digital elevation models (DEMs) are a primary data input for many applications in spatial hydrology and geomorphology. DEMs are commonly used to delineate watersheds, to map landforms and soils, to analyze stream networks, and to model variable source areas, surface runoff and flooding, erosion, and contaminant migration. The past decades have been marked by significant improvements in the quality, spatial resolution, and availability of DEM data sources.

Join us at the University of Waterloo in celebration of World Wetlands Day. On this annual international day of significance, wetlands groups across the globe commemorate the February 2, 1971 adoption of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.

Public Lecture "From the age of carbon to the age of water — the role of wetlands" with Ania Grobicki, Deputy Secretary General, Ramsar Secretariat, Switzerland

As part of THEMUSEUM's Nature Unleashed: Inside Natural Disasters dialogues series, Water Institute member and Civil and Environmental Engineering professor Monica Emelko, will present “Fires, Floods and Other Natural Disasters: Climate change threats to water across Canada.”

The workshop will present a standardized defect coding, condition classification and grading system for water distribution pipelines. The condition coding and classification protocol is developed to identify, characterize, and report various types of anomalies, defects and construction features that can impact water pipelines’ structural and operational (hydraulic and water quality) performance.

This one-day workshop will focus on the construction of municipal pipelines using the microtunnelling trenchless construction method. Over the past several years Ontario has grown from not using microtunnelling to becoming a leader in North America for complex and challenging projects that include curved concrete pipelines.

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Alex Mayer, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Michigan Technological University, presents, "Developing the Great Lakes’ Blue Economy: Water productivity, water depletion, and virtual water trade in the Great Lakes basin."
