With hard-to-predict changes in future demand, climate, supply options, technological opportunities, and budgetary constraints, water agency plans should be flexible robust, designed to meet goals over a wide range of plausible conditions. But current state-of-the-art approaches planning make it difficult craft robust guide resource allocation facilitate discussions with the agency’s constituents ratepayers. This paper describes an innovative effort by one agency, Metropolitan Water District...
Johnson, D.R.; Fischbach, J.R., and Ortiz, D.S., 2013. Estimating surge-based flood risk with the coastal Louisiana assessment model.The Coastal Risk Assessment model (CLARA) was designed to facilitate comparisons of current future under a variety protection system configurations in wide range environmental, operational, economic uncertainties. It builds on previous studies by incorporating fragility larger number scenarios than previously analyzed. Flood depths direct damage from simulated...
Gaza has long had water and sanitation challenges, but today it is in a state of emergency. Its dual crisis combines shortage potable for drinking, cooking, hygiene with lack wastewater sanitation. As result, over 108,000 cubic meters untreated sewage flow daily from into the Mediterranean Sea, creating extreme public health hazards Gaza, Israel, Egypt. While these problems are not new, rapidly deteriorating infrastructure, strict limitations on import construction materials pumps,...
Vascular atresia are often treated via transcatheter recanalization or surgical vascular anastomosis due to congenital malformations coronary occlusions. The cellular response is, however, largely unknown and current techniques rely on restoration rather than optimization of flow into the atretic arteries. An improved understanding post may result in reduced restenosis. Here, an vitro platform is used model pulmonary arteries (PAs) for procedural planning reduce Bifurcated PAs bioprinted...
Abstract The State of Louisiana faces a substantial planning challenge in addressing the joint problems rapid coastal land loss and storm surge flood risk, exacerbated by rising sea levels subsidence. To address these twin challenges, has developed series coastwide master plans that include investments restoration hurricane risk reduction, with most recent update 2017 includes about $50 billion projects to be implemented over 50 years (approximately 2016–2065). This research builds on...
Best management practices (BMPs) such as bioretentions, dry and wet ponds, porous pavement, many other methods are widely used to reduce the runoff volume concentration of sediments nutrients in runoff. Numerical models develop assess water quality plans that, among others, include BMPs. Those need take into account BMP effectiveness remove pollutants, being a function daily runoff, order estimate their performance under range different climate scenarios. Circumventing lack monitoring data,...
The U.S. Gulf Coast provides a valuable setting to study deeply connected natural and human interactions feedbacks that have led complex, interconnected coastal system is under increased pressure from accelerating environmental stressors such as sea level rise, intensifying hurricanes, development. Promoting the resilience maintaining habitability of into future will need improved understanding coupled natural-human system, well effective sharing this in support decision-making policies....
Climate change is thought to be one of the greatest public health threats 21st century and there has been a tremendous growth in published literature describing implications climate over last decade. Yet, remain several critical knowledge gaps this field. Closing these crucial developing effective interventions minimize risks from change. In commentary, we discuss policy trends that have influenced advancement research United States context. We then enumerate specific could addressed by...
