VU grad Erik Hromadka ('88) spoke today. How did it go?

Wed, Oct 10th - 1:45pm - 3pm Workshop IV-A: Addressing the Challenges & Providing Solutions to Water Infrastructure Problems

Pfister Grand Ballroom

In the U.S. and throughout the developed world, demand for water is outstripping the ability of aging infrastructure to supply it safely, efficiently, and economically. The challenge is too great to solve by brute force. Instead, we need to develop and deploy innovative solutions that drive greater efficiency, reduce energy costs, and maintain the quality and safety we have come to expect. The panel will discuss the key challenges and a range of solutions including smart water networks that use some of the same principles as the smart energy grid to manage water effectively, detect leaks and deteriorating infrastructure, and ensure water quality.
