MULTI-PURPOSE URBAN SOLUTIONS
|
--------------------------------------------------- Unstructured Sub-Title End
|
Water infrastructure projects often require large investments and space, and in urban areas funding and space is limited. This makes innovative solutions that provide multiple functions increasingly attractive. This approach requires water engineers and planners to be well connected to the other needs and ambitions of the urban communities, and who can translate these in alternative, innovative designs.
|
For a city to be effective at managing resiliency and quality, it must also ably manage stormwater. Many cities are turning to green infrastructure projects to manage stormwater issues as an alternative to the traditional methods of piped drainage systems that were designed to capture and convey stormwater to waterbodies as quickly as possible, and may or may not have involved methods to address water quality. Green infrastructure is an approach to water management that more closely mimics the natural water environment, and incorporates both natural and engineered systems to effectively capture, attenuate, store and treat stormwater. At the same time green infrastructure can provide valuable green space and recreation for the residents of a city, reduce the urban heat island effect, and enhance biodiversity and ecological resilience.
|
The South Los Angeles Wetlands Park was designed to capture and treatment urban runoff, while also providing rare green space to an underserved community of Los Angeles. The project transformed a previously abandoned railyard, which was a brownfield site, into a park with trails, boardwalks, picnic areas and other features.
|
Harnessing the power of low-impact green infrastructure in cities not only swiftly reduces flood damage and restores areas to a more natural state should the worst happen, it also makes for a more balanced local eco-system. The likes of parkland, bio swales
|
and green roofs cannot completely replace traditional ‘grey’ storm drainage systems, which in many cases will remain the backbone of urban stormwater management. Rather, a balance can be struck between the two that produces an integrated, resilient system and allows cities to grow.

OPTIMIZING URBAN WATER USE
|
--------------------------------------------------- Unstructured Sub-Title End
|
Clean, safe and usable water is a limited and valuable resource. This is precisely why it is crucial to make sure water usage in cities is efficiently managed and wastage is kept to a minimum. Yet, in many cities water is not always treated appropriately and in fact may even be wasted. It is all too often taken for granted under the assumption that it is abundantly available, as well as inexpensive and simple to manage. However, efficiency is an area that many cities struggle with and one in which many developed cities underperform.
|
To accomplish this, cities must have a good enough knowledge of their assets and behavior of its system and the types and levels of usage (current and projected). They also must be aware of the vulnerabilities of the system, as well as the risks which could potentially cause distress in the system (on a short or long term basis) and that could hinder the cities operations, the well-being of its citizens, or even limit the city’s competitive edge. Water sources along with treatment, delivery, and collection capacities and challenges; as well as compliance and quality requirements (both current and future) are all necessary aspects that cities must consider when developing their “as-is” and “future” optimization blueprints in their pathway towards sustainability.

URBAN ASSET PRESERVATION AND MANAGEMENT

Aging urban water infrastructure poses a serious challenge, weighing heavily on systems like an unpaid
|
debt. For several decades, and throughout the economic downturn, city authorities and utilities in most countries around the world held back on maintaining or upgrading water and wastewater infrastructure. Deferred maintenance and spending have resulted in a major funding gap. In the U.S. in particular, the sheer enormity of the funding gap is daunting, approximately $600 million USD according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. At the same time, population growth and urbanization require large investments in new water and wastewater infrastructure, not just in the U.S. but all around the world.
|
Large cities and public and private utilities assume that everything will be 'business as usual' forever. However, in the world of urban competition, the future will favor the creative, the innovative and the bold. The opportunity risk of foregoing improvements based on social, economic, and environmental consequences as well as the probability of failure can guide asset management decisions. The asset management standard, ISO 55000, is being used by utilities and cities that are looking to adapt and improve how they manage their assets.
|
Risk-based asset management approaches are more and more being used to prioritize capital and operating investments. This means allocating funds to address risks to those assets that have the highest potential of failure but also those where the consequences of failure have the biggest impact on the urban economy, environment and communities.
|
Until recently, such programs were performed by individual departments within an organization and have not been integrated into any organization-wide strategy, but with the ISO 55000 many large cities and utilities are revising their approach.
