Christian Stamm, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag)

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.

Condition Assessment & Rehab of Asbestos Cement Pipelines

CATT logo
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.

Using Open-Access GIS to Address Issues in Spatial Hydrological Modelling

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.

Nature Unleashed — Fires, Floods and Other Natural Disasters: Climate Change Threats to Water Across Canada

Nature Unleashed
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.”

Thursday, February 9, 2017 8:00 am - 4:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Watermain Defect Coding, Condition Grading and Renovation

CATT logo
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.

Thursday, February 16, 2017 8:00 am - 4:15 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Microtunnelling for Municipal Construction

CATT logo
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.

Thursday, February 16, 2017 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)
