Dr. David Sedlak will be presenting "The Fourth Revolution in Urban Water Systems":

Throughout history, the expansion of cities has required new
approaches for managing the urban water cycle. Fundamental changes
in the technologies and management of the urban water cycle occur
abruptly, as society recognizes that existing technologies are no longer
able to achieve the goals of protecting public health and assuring a
reliable source of water. Population growth, climate change and
changes in investment practices are creating conditions that are
conducive to a fourth revolution in urban water systems. By
considering recent innovations in water technologies and practices
among utilities that are on the forefront of these changes, we can gain
insight into the nature of the coming revolution and the research needed
to support the transition to more resilient and effective urban water
infrastructure.
