1. One Water Management Research Jennifer Warner One Water Management Network Meeting Hunton & Williams Board Room – Washington, DC June 20, 2013

2. Water Research Foundation Investment in OWM Source Water Protection Clean Water Act/Safe Drinking Water Act Integration Water Supply Diversification

3. Source Water Protection Vision By 2025, every public community water supply will be protection by an active SWP program. Roadmap Raise Awareness Enhance Coordination Provide Support Increase Recognition

4. Take Advantage of CWA/SDWA Overlaps Drinking Water Source Protection Through Effective Use of the TMDL Process (#4007) offers several high level recommendations to understand and utilize TMDLs. Get involved and share data – rarely are water suppliers at the table when discussing TMDLs Maintain reasonable expectations – water suppliers are among several stakeholders CWA/SDWA demonstrate well the challenge of research vs. advocacy

5. Reservoirs and Their Many Uses Water supply Water supply Flood mitigation Flood mitigation Environmental protection/enhancement Environmental protection/enhancement Hydropower Hydropower Recreation Recreation

6. Dynamic Reservoir Operations (#4306) Potomac River: Increase in reliable supply equal to the stand-alone safe yield of five additional large reservoirs, avoiding multi-billion dollar capital improvements Kansas River: Increase in reliable supply equivalent to the stand-alone safe yield of a new billion-dollar reservoir. New York City: Alternative to constructing a $300 million multi-level intake structure

7. Best practice guidance for defining water supply safe yields in multi-use, multi-reservoir systems Defined approach for integrating the impacts of climate change on future safe yield estimates Strategies for increasing safe yield from similar reservoir systems Quantitative and qualitative review of the financial, environmental, and public impacts of selected strategies

8. Multi-Use, Multi-Reservoir System - 13 Hydroelectric Stations - 11 Interconnected Reservoirs - 831 MW Hydropower - 8,167 MW Nuclear and Fossil - Drinking water for 1.5 million people - FERC Licensed Hydro Project

9. WaterRF Focus Area Program Holistic Strategies to Manage Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Water By 2015, evaluate and support… “holistic control strategies for managing contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in water.” NDMA and other Nitrosamines By 2017… “understand the occurrence, precursor formation, treatment and control, and fate of nitrosamines…” Finance By 2017… “determine impacts of utility governance and ownership on financial sustainability Integrated Water/Energy Planning By 2016… “develop strategies for multi-sector, regional, integrated water- energy planning…”

10. Water Supply Diversification Several workshops late 2012/early 2013 held by WaterRF and WRRF Communications/messaging Life cycle analysis of all diversification options Improved monitoring capabilities for IPR/DPR Distributed stormwater infiltration for IPR

11. WSD Next Steps WaterRF anticipates funding several related projects during latter half of 2013 Coordinating with WRRF on funding projects identified at Dec 12 DPR workshop Anticipate one or more Focus Areas related to IWRM (including WSD) in January 2014
