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.

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.

  • Introduction to Betty & Connie's OVER-THE-RHINE Tour Guide
    Constance Lee Menefee and Betty Ann Smiddy 2008 [email protected] Introduction to betty & connie’s OVER-THE-RHINE tour guide Cincinnati was incorporated as a frontier town in 1802. Its growth into a thriving industrial city was assured when the first steamboat was launched on the Ohio River in 1812. It was the Ohio River, plus access to key resources for building and manufacturing like iron, coal, timber, limestone, and clay, that established Cincinnati as a major business center by the mid-1800’s. Industry thrived: Cincinnati became home to soap and glycerin works, cooperages, lumber yards, foundries, stone yards, tanneries, meat packing houses, silversmiths, tinners, cabinetmakers, machine makers, boot and shoe makers, printers, potters, and many breweries, peaking at 36 by 1860.1 The central business district became crowded with a variety of businesses willing to pay high rents for access to the river. Later arrivals were pushed north, into a basin area that had the Miami-Erie Canal – the “Rhine” – as a rough south and west boundary. This basin area became a significant port of entry for increasing numbers of eastern Europeans who were fleeing war, conscription, economic depression, and feudalistic land inheritance laws. As the German-speaking community grew, the area across the canal became known as “Over-the-Rhine.” The neighborhood was at once profoundly connected to the economic life of the city and separate in its strong European culture. Every block had businesses that provided the service and product necessities of life. To the Germans, that included churches, good food, and wholesome beer. A nickel beer bought a free buffet lunch.
