Elaine J. Hanford's Bulletin Boards: 1) Geoscience; 2) Environmental Science; 3) Coastal Zone Management - 25 March 2019

Elaine reports that the Colorado River Basin states have reached an agreement on a drought plan. Rumor has it that Arizona was one of the last ones to approve it. Below is a picture (courtesy of Tony Willardson) of the seven basin state reps with USBR Commissioner Brenda Burman. I believe the Arizona rep is the one wuith his ar in a sling. I guess some serious arm-twisting transpired!

Paper: 'Crisis on the High Plains - The Loss of America’s Largest Aquifer – the Ogallala'

It's appropriate to post an article about the Ogallala (aka High Plains) aquifer today. I am in Omaha about to start an AWRA conference (Setting Conditions for the Success of Integrated Water Resources Management) in Nebraska, where the Ogallala is sacred ground to many. It underlies more of Nebraska than any other state and pumps a huge amount of groundwater.

This paper is by Jeremy Frankel from the University of Denver Law School Water Law Review in May 2018: Crisis on the High Plains: The Loss of America’s Largest Aquifer–The Ogallala. You can also find the paper in this issue (Volume 33, Issue 3) of the Renewable Resources Journal.

Introduction
The grain-growing region in the High Plains of America—known as America’s breadbasket—relies entirely on the Ogallala Aquifer. But long term unsustainable use of the aquifer is forcing states in the region to face the prospect of a regional economic disaster. As the High Plains states reach the verge of a major crisis, the states have taken different approaches to conservation with varying results.

The Ogallala Aquifer supports an astounding one-sixth of the world’s grain produce, and it has long been an essential component of American agriculture. The High Plains region—where the aquifer lies—relies on the aquifer for residential and industrial uses, but the aquifer’s water is used primarily for agricultural irrigation. The agricultural demands for Ogallala water in the region are immense, with the aquifer ultimately being responsible for thirty percent of all irrigation in the United States. The Ogallala Aquifer has long been unable to keep up with these agricultural demands, as the aquifer recharges far slower than water is withdrawn.

Aside from the obvious agricultural ramifications from the Ogallala’s depletion, recent studies have shown that groundwater depletion also has a severe effect on freshwater ecosystems in the region. Each state has had to confront the issue in their own way, but the depletion of the aquifer has become severe enough to warrant the attention of the federal government as well. At the state level, the focus has been on maintaining an orderly depletion of the aquifer rather than developing a plan for sustainable use. However, some states have achieved some level of success in slowing down the aquifer’s depletion. Kansas, for example, has recently achieved mild success by adopting a program that put conservation in the hands of the State’s farmers. On the other hand, Nebraska has seen more success than Kansas by being tougher on farmers and exercising its enforcement powers. The federal government has also set up financial and technical assistance for farmers who commit to conservation and is funding large-scale pipeline projects to bring in water to the more desperate areas of the High Plains.

Cutting to the chase...

Conclusion
The Governor of Kansas, after seeing the success of the one and only LEMA group in the state, has recently declared that Kansas has been producing real results towards water conservation and that Kansas’s status as a breadbasket for the nation has been secured. However, it is important to remember to contextualize this success; it is only one group in an area less than one hundred square miles, meaning that the Ogallala is far from saved. And while there is value in allowing farmers to voluntarily take the reins in conserving the Ogallala, it is clear that they are not jumping at the opportunity to do so. The farmers themselves have commented that it is going to take a whole change of culture in the region to see the results that the Kansas legislature envisioned from the LEMA program—an uphill battle that certainly will not happen overnight. Nebraska is at least seeing some more substantial results from their hardline policies, which may be the direction the High Plains states need to take to avoid a major crisis. While the Ogallala may not be able to be completely saved at this point, it is certainly worth preserving for as long as possible, and states should not hold back in using their enforcement powers to do so.

Thanks to Tim Smith for briging this article to my attention. I'll be hearing about this over the next few days.

Enjoy!

AWWA and Ernst & Young Report on Public-Private Partnerships: 'To P3 or not to P3'

G. Tracy Mehan III, Executive Director of Government Affairs for AWWA, sent me this press release.

New report shares water-sector views on public-private partnerships

(DENVER) – The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and Ernst and Young Infrastructure Advisors, LLC (EYIA) today released a new report about the use of public-private partnerships as an alternative delivery model for the continued safe and uninterrupted supply of water and wastewater services.

 

The report, “To P3 or not to P3,” is a water-sector view about the perceived relevance and outlook of public-private partnerships (P3s) in the municipal water and wastewater sector. The report presents results and insights from a joint AWWA/EYIA study of P3s as an alternative delivery model to address infrastructure repair and replacement costs, affordability concerns, environmental regulation and demographic changes, and long-term risk and resilience in response to extreme weather events and climate trends.

The survey defined a traditional delivery method for developing and constructing an asset as one in which the risks are maintained by the public sector. A P3, in contrast, is a performance-based contract that allocates risks to the party best suited to manage them. It links public-sector payments to contractual performance obligations of the private-sector partner.

EYIA, an EY member organization, conducted a 2018 survey of AWWA’s municipal water and wastewater system members in the U.S. and Canada to determine their understanding of and interest in P3s. Participants responded to questions about perceived benefits and barriers of P3s, views of private financing, and types of projects most suitable for P3 delivery. 

“Survey results show that municipal utilities are well-informed about options for water infrastructure delivery, and they understand the concept of public-private partnerships,” said Tracy Mehan, AWWA’s executive director of government affairs. “They view P3s as a strategy to bring additional resources, skills and project delivery experience to specific subjects, rather than replacing existing services.”

Stephen Auton-Smith, EYIA managing director, said that although P3s currently are not widely used in the water sector, they provide potential advantages for municipal utilities in certain circumstances.

“A P3 delivery model is more likely to be used in infrastructure areas where municipal utilities do not have the capacity or experience to deliver and maintain assets using their existing staff and resources under traditional methods. As the water sector increasingly invests in advanced wastewater treatment, energy recovery, potable water reuse, desalination and other complex infrastructure, P3s will have a key role to play in advancing a number of these critical projects,” Auton-Smith said.

TGIWWD! Weekly Water News Summary 16 - 22 March 2019

TGIWWD = Tweets Galore It's World Water Day!

Yes, today is World Water Day. Every day should be WWD but I understand why we need just one. But if we forget about water for the other 364 days, then we do not make any progress. Here's another take on World Water Day - what are you going to do the Day After World Water Day? Don't leave anyone behind, that's what you should do.

I am now in Nebraska, which has been hammered by flooding. In downtown Omaha it is pretty dry. Here is a photo I snapped just a few minutes before we landed at the Omaha airport, coming in from the south. Barely discernible in this photo (center) is a runway at Offutt Air Force Base plunging into the Missouri River. Iowa is in the background.

Keep those Midwesterners in your thoughts and the folks over in Africa and elsewhere who have been hammered by floods.

Enjoy WWD!
