A hallmark of our community is our collective enthusiasm for knowledge sharing. At events Craig Patterson, P.E., M.ASCE like our Congress, we all look forward not only to the chance to network and catch up with Technical Program Co-Chair our peers, but also to the opportunity to learn from each other, confident that our colleagues [email protected] will step forward and share their hard-won experiences with all of us. At this year’s Congress, Daniel Murray, Jr., P.E., BCEE, M.ASCE we have a truly remarkable confluence of ideas to explore. On one hand, we are prompted Technical Program Co-Chair to consider how far we have come by an anniversary that marks 100 years of knowledge [email protected] development in water research by a pivotal member of the environmental community, the U.S. EPA. On the other hand, we have a focus on the future, ranging from proven applications Scott Struck, Ph.D., PWS, M.ASCE to technical notions only now showing up on the radar. This span of interests and ideas adds Technical Program Co-Chair up to a wonderful opportunity to meet once again and enjoy a few days out of our regular [email protected] working world to share ideas and solutions. Walter Grayman, Ph.D., P.E., D.WRE, M.ASCE The term “Showcasing the Future” strikes a chord with all of us. For some, it suggests a Local Arrangements Chair tomorrow with sustainable solutions to issues that will determine our quality of life. For [email protected] others, it brings to mind goals that address not only technical advancement but also political, Rose Marie Klee, P.E., M.ASCE geographic, economic, and social progress. And for many, it resonates with ideas of a future Website and Communications Activities Chair replete with gadgets, technologies, and practices that will propel us forward in ways we [email protected] have yet to conceive. Whatever the future brings, the diversity of notions of what will come to pass is always an underpinning motivation for the environmental and water resource Debra Leigh professionals who gather each year at the ASCE-EWRI WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL & Exhibits and Sponsorship Chair [email protected] WATER RESOURCES CONGRESS. Christine Pomeroy Our 2013 Congress venue, Cincinnati, Ohio, is a great destination in its own right. Situated Conference Committee Coordinator by the Ohio River, it forms an ideal backdrop to many of the concepts that will be explored [email protected] at the Congress. In sessions, symposia, short courses, and tours, we will explore water and environmental issues at all levels and in all conditions. We will examine innovative technologies and approaches, and launch several new symposia to focus on cloud computing, EWRI of ASCE Staff uncertainty analysis approaches in hydrologic modeling, and desalination and water reuse. Director Scan the program and you’ll see value on every page. Brian Parsons, M.ASCE [email protected] While making your plans for the week, keep an eye on plenary speakers Thane Maynard, Director of the Cincinnati Zoo & Biological Garden, and Benedito Braga, President of the Manager World Water Council and Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Ann M. Rountree, Aff.M.ASCE São Paulo (Brazil). Thane brings a wealth of experience in the animal kingdom, delivered [email protected] in an entertaining and first person style, and Benedito will add an international perspective Special Projects Coordinator that will highlight many issues that the Congress community will be addressing. I would also Andy Kropf like to remind the many friends of Daniel P. Loucks that we will be recognizing him and his [email protected] contributions to Sustainable Water Resources Management in a symposium designed by his former students. Board and Meetings Specialist Gabrielle Dunkley Whether it’s the theme, the location, the community, or some particular part of the agenda [email protected] that draws you to this event, we are sure you will enjoy this year’s proceedings, and find the Senior Conference Manager time spent to be well worth your while.

WERF at the Practical Applications Showcase: Linking BMPs to Receiving Waters
9:00 – 10:30 a.m. SELECT 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. SELECT 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Framework 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. Framework
This year, EWRI Congress 2013 will implement an innovative twist on the sessions, demonstrations, and exhibits, in the form of a drop-in center that will provide the technical community with an opportunity for “hands on” interaction with vendors, presenters, or displays. One of the sessions at this center, sponsored by Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) with support from EWRI, will present results of a multi-year WERF-sponsored research effort to enhance the ability of water resources professionals to deal with the complex issues surrounding efforts to link BMP placement and functions to receiving water impacts.
The session will be set up as a pair of 90-minute slots, each prefaced by a brief introduction to the topic area and each providing an opportunity for attendees and presenters to work together to explore research results and share experiences. Both of these topic areas will be presented twice over the course of a day:
• The SELECT model. SELECT is a spreadsheet-based tool used for rapid planning-level evaluation of BMP placement strategies with a need for minimum data and set-up time. Provided with basic information on watershed characteristics, the tool incorporates empirical data from the International BMP Database and other sources to enable a user to examine the impact of BMP sizing and type selection on discharge exceedance curves. This session will begin with an overview of the tool and progress through several simple work examples. Attendees who come equipped with their own hardware and who have suitable privileges on their systems will be able to install and test the software in real time.
• The Framework. There are numerous complex models available to enable detailed assessment of watersheds, BMPs, and receiving streams. However, these tools (although often first rate in their own context) commonly require significant added effort if they are to be used together to evaluate different aspects of a problem (e.g. SWMM, WASP, or other tools). The Framework is a software specification and supporting technology that allows users to directly integrate the results of various models and compare their results on a common basis, using advanced decision support system tools provided as a part of the Framework. This session will begin with an overview of the tool and recent findings regarding the link between BMPs and receiving waters, to provide a context on practical issues and requirements. The session will then introduce the tool and provide a demonstration of its use. Attendees will interact with presenters throughout this process to share ideas and experiences. Attendees will optionally be able to download and implement the Framework after this event, so the technical foundations of the Framework will be discussed in order to facilitate subsequent use of the tool by those inclined to try it.

WATER SECURITY WORKSHOPS • 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The U.S. EPA has been working through its Water Security Initiative (WSi) to meet the Homeland Security requirement to “develop robust, comprehensive, and fully coordinated surveillance and monitoring systems for water quality that provide early detection and awareness of disease, pest, or poisonous agents....”
Its initial pilot program was conducted at the Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW, 2006-2010) to understand the relationship of different data signals to detect and respond to potential contamination events in the distribution system. Based on the early design and piloting work at the GCWW, EPA developed the architecture for the WSi program that moved out to four additional pilot cities and a number of other cities to develop their own expanded Contamination Warning Systems (CWS).
The ultimate goal of the WSi is to expand the program nationally through a voluntary national adoption program. EPA and others have engaged in a number of activities – Simulation Testing, CIPAC, and Water Research Foundation – to prepare for a national roll-out of the program. Session 1 & 2 of this workshop will include the report from four EPA Pilot Cities. They will provide an overview of their programs and lessons learned. Session 3 will include the report from a 5th Pilot City and some of the non-EPA utilities, with overviews of their programs and lessons learned. Session 4 will include presentations by EPA on the results of GCWW Simulation Testing and the CIPAC Report. In addition, the contractor for the WRF project will offer results from a national workshop.

Seen Cincy lately? Destination: Cincinnati Lonely Planet has designated it the #3 U.S. TRAVEL incinnati USA, which covers the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region, is a DESTINATION FOR 2012. WHY? Cvibrant destination on the scenic Ohio River that is best known for its major league sports and world-class arts and culture. With rolling hills and lush valleys, Cincinnati USA offers visitors a tapestry of neighborhoods and experiences both in Ohio and Kentucky and continues to reflect its rich German heritage through architecture and the spirit of its people.
Downtown Cincinnati is filled with shops, restaurants, cafes, and great bars. A striking bronze fountain graces Fountain Square, at the center of the downtown. Public According to Lonely Planet: gatherings and concerts are regularly hosted here. Our Congress takes place just steps from it all… including the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and the Newport “The pretty city on the Ohio River – off the main cross-country interstates – gets Aquarium, with its “Surrounded by Sharks” experience! bypassed by many road trippers, but it’s quietly transformed itself in the last decade into a worthy weekend getaway. For additional information, visit www.downtowncincinnati.com. Life centers around the river – much of which can be seen by foot: river walkways are best on the Kentucky side, reached via a couple bridges including John Roebling’s Suspension Bridge (a prequel to his famous Brooklyn Bridge). Narrow, twisting (and steep) brick roads of the Mt. Adams district lead past 19th-century Victorian townhouses and the free Cincinnati Art Museum, while the once-dangerous, emerging Over-the-Rhine, just north of downtown, is home to the Findlay Market and a sprawling collection of historic Italianate architecture. Best, though, is the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, open since 2004, on the banks of the river where many slaves escaped to freedom in the 19th century.”
