MCWD's Administrator, James Wisker, had the opportunity to join the Minnesota Stormwater Seminar Series as a panelist at the September seminar earlier this month, discussing how emerging policy issues and climate change may impact the future of stormwater management. It was an informative discussion with leaders from across the industry, including perspectives from the national, state, and municipal levels. James spoke about the watershed's unique point of view, highlighting MCWD's integrated approach to address water resource issues, from contaminants to the current and future impacts of climate change. At MCWD, we believe that water defines place and that clean water and a healthy natural environment are essential to create and support sustainable, thriving communities. Collaborative and integrated planning with land use partners is necessary to achieve this vision because our water resources are inextricably connected to the land and changes on the landscape, from infrastructure and transportation to community development. Thank you to Andrew J Erickson from the St. Anthony Falls Lab for helping moderate the panel discussion, and thank you to all of the other panelists — Chris Kloss, EPA; Seth Brown, P.E., Ph.D., National Municipal Stormwater Alliance; Nicole Blasing, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency; and Randy Neprash, Minnesota Cities Stormwater Coalition — for providing each of their perspectives on stormwater management and policy!

In collaboration with GRUNDFOS, Global Water Intelligence tackles a critical issue plaguing waterways worldwide: sewer overflows. Millions of tonnes of sewage pollute rivers and lakes every year, jeopardizing our environment, public health, and cityscapes. Sewer security is no longer optional. Watch our video introduction to the new white paper and discover: ▪ The global scope of sewer security challenges. ▪ The escalating costs of inaction. ▪ The urgency for action with intensifying weather extremes. ➡️ Watch the video & register for the white paper (May 2024 publication)
Sewage and stormwater #pollution threaten our environment and cities, from the River Thames to Sydney Harbour to Lake Michigan. #Sewersecurity is no longer an option – it is essential for our future. That’s why we are excited to announce our next white paper with GRUNDFOS which tackles the crucial issue of sewer security worldwide. It is directly linked to an important utility-focused panel session at the Global Water Summit. Coming this spring, the white paper explores solutions to achieve sewer security, reduce costs, and set the gold standard for protecting our water systems. 📅 Register your interest here to receive the white paper upon its publication: https://lnkd.in/eCBHJTdh
Multipurpose barrier manages stormwater, reduces noise A novel road noise barrier in Denmark highlights the advantages and challenges of using a vertical, rather than horizontal, approach to stormwater management. #Stormwater #StormwaterManagement #StormwaterRunoff
Too much water … Too little water … Changing weather patterns are challenging water agencies worldwide. In this article, #AECOM's Jimmy Martinez Medellin shares how Los Angeles is making strides to enhance the resilience of its water infrastructure while addressing inequities and improving public safety by advancing stormwater capture and reuse systems. Commenting on the urgency to act, Jimmy says: “Advancing stormwater management is crucial to building resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding the impacts of climate change. Millions of Americans face issues related to water scarcity, pollution and other inadequacies. Real action driving innovation, investment, and collaboration in the arena of stormwater management is essential as we seek to safeguard our water resources against the challenge of climate change.” #TransformingLA #stormwatermanagement #waterresilience
Our LA-based Engineering and Surface Water Manager Jimmy Martinez Medellin shared his insights on the unique challenges and opportunities surrounding effective stormwater management in Los Angeles in the latest edition of Stormwater Solutions Magazine.
