FEATURE ARTICLESClimate change: Charting a water course in an uncertain futureMichael J. Wallis, Michael R. Ambrose, and Clifford C. Chan Water utilities must include climate change in water supply availability and resource planning and can use this case study as a framework for long-term water supply planning and decision-making Assessing the carbon footprint of water production Justin Strutt, Sian Wilson, Holly Shorney-Darby, Andrew Shaw, and Andrew Byers Without a standardized protocol for developing a carbon footprint of water production, US utilities must draw on the experiences of other nations and adapt approaches used in other industries. Incorporating climate change in water planning Kathy Freas, Bob Bailey, Armin Munévar, and Susan Butler Population increases and municipal and recreational uses, as well as growing uncertainties about the effects of global climate change, call for a new approach to water use and water resource management. Climate change risk assessment and total water management can be used to determine the vulnerability of water management systems to climate change. A valuation of ecological services in the Laurentian Great Lakes Basin with an emphasis on Canada Gail Krantzberg and Cheryl de Boer An estimated 35 million people rely on the Great Lakes for safe drinking water, and millions depend on healthy fish and wildlife safe for consumption. The natural capital of the Great Lakes is worth tens of billions of dollars each year and investing in the protection of this resource is ethically and financially imperative. Metering secondary water in residential irrigation systems Gregory L. Richards, Michael C. Johnson, and Steven L. Barfuss With rapid growth and limited water supplies, many water systems throughout the United States are aware of the need for water conservation. Supplying secondary water is an approach that reduces demand on potable water and allows for more connections. Using aggregation/skeletonization network models for water quality simulations in epidemiologic studies Lina Perelman, Morris L. Maslia, Avi Ostfeld, and Jason B. Sautner A method has been developed that can simplify complex water distribution system network modeling so that the reduced or simplified network provides reliable results for both pressures and contaminant concentrations.
