Inflow and infiltration solutions have been discussed extensively for sanitary and storm sewers; however, these measures may be limited if manhole chambers are neglected. This workshop will address the growing problem of manhole deterioration.

As part of the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper Literacy Tour, environmental lawyer Mark Mattson will present "Help ensure a swimmable, drinkable, fishable Canada."

This course, offered in collaboration with the Ontario Good Roads Association, covers the fundamentals of asset management with particular emphasis on buried infrastructure (water and wastewater pipelines).

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

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.
