Originating Calendar Illinois Sustainable Technology Center seminars and events
Water planning for climate change means designing programs and policies that reduce vulnerabilities to uncertain events - events that impact water demand, hydrological conditions, and water infrastructure resiliency. The Water 2050: Northeastern Illinois Regional Water Supply/Demand Plan incorporated climate change impacts into water use forecasts, finding potential regional vulnerability as water supply-demand imbalances would be exasperated by extreme weather scenarios. Corresponding recommended best practices follow an adaptive management framework, whereby the stringency of water management and conservation increases in accordance with weather event severity and water shortages. This presentation highlights the use of water pricing methods to promote sound regional water management, provide at-risk water systems options to manage climate impacts, and to ensure ongoing infrastructure adequacy as communities face increasing uncertainties.
This seminar will be broadcast live on the ISTC website www.istc.illinois.edu and also archived there for later viewing.
