Social distancing policies (SDPs) implemented throughout the United States in response to COVID-19 have led spatial and temporal shifts drinking water demand and, for utilities, created sociotechnical challenges. During this unique period, many utilities been forced operate outside of design conditions with reduced workforce financial capacities. Few studies examined how respond a pandemic; such methods are even absent from emergency plans. Here, we documented impacted by pandemic. We...
Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership journal. The views expressed this article do not necessarily reflect ASCE Editorial Board
Extreme events can significantly disrupt the operation and maintenance (O&M) of drinking water utilities (DWUs), compromising community access to in critical times. However, we posit that utility size influence DWUs' resilience, as large DWUs may have a greater capacity handle extreme sudden changes characteristic emergencies. Here, explore resilience small by understanding how global crisis (i.e., COVID-19 pandemic) affected these impacts statistically differ from those using statistical...
In response to the industry's significant contribution global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, many architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) companies have developed climate pledges. Climate pledges are commitments made by entities (e.g., governments) lower their contributions change reducing GHG emissions. Approximately 30% of top 100 design firms contractors ranked revenue Engineering News Record formal The researchers hypothesize that adopting corporate may be associated with...
Drinking water projects in rural Alaskan communities face a myriad of issues, often due to environmental challenges and financial constraints. These issues threaten community members' access clean drinking water. Here, we report the built, natural, social system factors that contribute failures successes based on 20 semistructured interviews with engineers, program managers, service providers, researchers whose work involves some element infrastructure Alaska. Using hybrid deductive...
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way societies operate. Consequentially, public, businesses, and industry used water differently, leading to changes in overall demand, along with spatial shifts use. These stressed US utilities, as they had implement social distancing policies, adjust changing revenues, create customer assistance programs. capabilities characteristics of utilities vary throughout US, which may impact their resilience. Here, we aim understand pre-existing have led resilience...
