Applying Infrastructure Asset Management Practice to Shun “Day Zero”

infrastructure asset management planning

Cape Town, South Africa is facing a very dire situation due to a three-year-long mega-drought. By May, the city was expecting to have to turn off its water supply and hand out a meager 25 liters per day to its citizens, who will have to make their way through long and potentially dangerous crowds to one of 200 distribution points throughout the city. The shut-off day - known as "Day Zero" - … [Read more...]

For those investing in water infrastructure and water solutions, there is a concept that must be grasped: water will always win against human control.

infrastructure asset management

At the end of May 2015, the much-anticipated final rule on "Definition of Waters in the U.S." ("WOTUS") as an amendment to the Clean Water Act, was published by the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

In the middle of the dry, Sonoran Desert of Arizona, the Wuertz family (and several others) have been farming cotton for generations.

The farmers understand that they could plant many other, less-water-consuming crops, but … [Read more...]
