TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 11 - 17 September 2021

All set for a new term next week - September 22 (first day of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere). We are on the quarter system so we start about 3-4 weeks later than the semester system. I teach my two favorite courses: Hydrology for Water Resources Management (UG/G; 12 students); and Introduction to Water Science and Policy (UG; 44 students). 

I use the George Hornberger et al. book for the former class and Brian Richter's book and Maggie Black's book (3/e) for the UG class. I use a lot of supplements in the UG class.

These latter two books are PBs and inexpensive - $40-45 for two new copies. Black's book is mainly graphics - maps, charts, etc., with some text. There are a few books in press that I might consider as replacements. The Jim Chamberlain - David Sabatini book focusing on water security is one that stands out; I just reviewed the ms. The George Hornberger - Debra Perrone book Water Resources: Science and Society is a great book but I save it for my honors section in the spring. It's a bit much for my regular class.

 

Enjoy!

I've rarely been at a loss for words. One exception stands out. In 1980 I was attending a conference with my new boss. I told several attendees that I had a new boss. One asked who, and when I mentioned his name he said, 'Oh, The Sex Banana!!' and all roared with laughter. Duh...

"Climate change is sometimes misunderstood as being about changes in the weather. In reality, it is about changes in our very way of life." - Paul Polman

I've rarely been at a loss for words. One exception stands out. In 1980 I was attending a conference with my new boss. I told several attendees that I had a new boss. One asked who, and when I mentioned his name he said, 'Oh, The Sex Banana!!' and all roared with laughter. Duh...

"A little bit of irreverence is good; a lot is better." - Ann Campana Judge (1951-2001)

“Climate change is water change.” - @JnPitt, director of the @audubonsociety's Colorado River program

Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm: 'Water is the Middle Child in Global Climate Policy'

Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm just published this short piece in Nature Climate Change: Water is the Middle Child in Global Climate Policy..

Download S41558-021-01154-y

Improved management of water has been shown to have important benefits in both climate adaptation and mitigation. Water must be explicitly considered in climate policy, on par with its energy and land siblings.

For quite some time, global climate policy, as reflected in the deliberations within the UNFCCC series Conference of the Parties (COPs), the first of which was held in Berlin in 1995, was largely focused on climate mitigation. The Paris Agreement reached at COP21 in 2015 represented welcome progress; there was a well-rationalized group of pledges (NDCs, nationally determined contributions) with clear targets (either a 2 °C or even a 1.5 °C global mean surface temperature increase) and, perhaps most important of all, an actual agreement among over 190 countries around the world around climate mitigation, with enough adaptation in the mix to satisfy the concerns of those who felt that adaptation was left behind and being paid insufficient attention.

Since Paris, the NDCs have been complemented with mid-century strategies (MCSs) for up until 2050, and the focus on decarbonisation in the energy sector has been augmented with aggressive targets on net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions from land, coming from the agriculture sector and other forms of land-based carbon storage and management. However, the current focus of climate policy on energy and land measures leaves behind a third sibling that is critical to addressing local and global climate goals: water. 

Water resides at the front lines of climate change. It is the primary channel through which the impacts of climate change will be felt across the key growth drivers of the global economy and, specifically, those that are energy- and land-based: power generation, industry, agriculture and urban development, among others. In the agricultural sector for instance, changing precipitation patterns and temperatures are significantly altering agronomic productivity, irrigation potential and the comparative advantage of some nations. In regions with less reliable water supplies, increasing water demands from expanding cities are exacerbating underlying scarcities that could constrain further urban growth. By contrast, plans for reducing GHG expansion of generation capacity, be it hydropower, thermal, nuclear or other renewable sources of energy. Other consequences that are mediated through water include effects on human health and changes in natural habitats, watersheds and biodiversity. emissions from the energy sector typically rest on the optimistic assumption of adequate water availability for a massive expansion of generation capacity, be it hydropower, thermal, nuclear or other renewable sources of energy. Other consequences that are mediated through water include effects on human health and changes in natural habitats, watersheds and biodiversity.

Water constrains climate goals
Despite its well-recognized role in transmitting climate impacts to some of the growth drivers of the economy, water has been largely ignored in climate change policy interventions. The impacts are projected to vary regionally and are likely to include changes in average hydroclimate patterns (precipitation, surface runoff and stream flow), as well as increases in the probability of extreme events. Effective management of water resources will be pivotal in addressing the climate challenge, both for adapting to the effects of climate change and for meeting global GHG mitigation goals.

In the case of NDCs (as well as the associated MCSs), most countries have proposed combinations that involve shifts from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, including biofuels, solar and wind1,2, and land-based measures, for example, reforestation and a variety of other nature-based solutions, as part of their development trajectories to meet their intended climate mitigation targets. These analyses, while comprehensive and sophisticated in their consideration of GHG net emissions reduction potential, have not considered water as a constraint in their calculation of such potential.

As an example of this, consider the case of the Latin America and Caribbean region. Fig. 1 compares two scenarios for primary energy resource demand (energy sources) and the corresponding demand for water through 2050 (ref. 3). It is clear that the NDC scenario results in lower use of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas and coal) and an overall reduction in primary energy resource demand, driven by better technology and more efficient resource utilization. However, this comes with a higher water demand rate, as illustrated by comparing the two bottom panels. This is explained by the fact that a significant portion of NDCs in Latin America include shifts to biofuels with increased irrigation needs4,5. Similar findings were reported in the analysis of the expansion of biofuel production in the USA6. This trade-off of decarbonisation versus increased water use is not sufficiently explored in the literature and is not considered explicitly in climate change policy making. For countries with scarce water resources, or for those trying to promote best practices in the management of water resources, this is an important gap that merits further research and application.

Humans drive water scarcity
Conventional wisdom in climate policy circles is that climate change will worsen water availability around the world, with particularly detrimental impacts in water-scarce regions. However, previous studies have generally attributed future changes in water scarcity to human activity, through population change, socioeconomic growth and resultant water demand increases, more so than to climate system impacts7,8. Socioeconomic systems affect water demand through population and economic growth by increasing the number of people who require water, affecting the affordability of reliable access to water and the ability to invest in and adopt technological improvements to increase water sector efficiencies9.

Elucidating another important dimension of this water–climate relationship has been enabled with the recent analysis of socioeconomic-driven scenarios of climate mitigation and adaptation, such as with the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP)10. By analyzing the relative contributions of human activity versus climate system impacts on water scarcity globally, it was shown that human impacts will be largely responsible for changes in water scarcity in 80% of basins globally by 2100 (60% by 2050) across a wide variety of combinations of climate system (RCP) and socioeconomic system (SSP) scenarios11. This implies that climate policies that promote improvements in the management of water resources in human activities (for example, agriculture, energy and domestic water consumption) should be a priority, particularly as water poses a constraint on meeting climate goals, as discussed above.

The energy–water–land nexus
With water posing a significant constraint on meeting climate goals and with water use dominated by human activities such as growing food and providing energy for societal needs, there has been a recent surge of investigations and applications around the world to better understand the interactions and feedbacks between energy, water and land (EWL), commonly referred to as the nexus.

The EWL nexus offers the opportunity to include water in climate mitigation and adaptation activities by investing in policy making and infrastructure in sectors such as water supply, agriculture, electricity, and others. In the international arena, some efforts along these lines have been pursued by agencies in charge of development in the food, energy and water sectors. For instance, the World Bank launched its Thirsty Energy initiative with the objective of better understanding the constraints posed by water in its energy investments. In a case study in South Africa12, a country well-known for being water scarce, it was reported that explicitly considering the cost of supplying water for electricity generation in the optimization of its energy matrix yielded a distribution of fuels favouring renewable sources, enabling them to simultaneously meet climate change goals (NDCs). In a second study in China13, where fossil fuels for electricity generation are located in water-scarce areas of the country, it was also found that improving efficiency in water use for electricity through nexus considerations contributed to meeting the country’s climate policy goals. An additional study by the World Bank in the water-scarce region of the Middle East and North Africa14 found that reducing the dependence of the agricultural and energy sectors on water and transitioning to renewable energy sources could not only reduce water scarcity but also help with meeting the region’s climate mitigation agenda.

Path forward
It is well known that water plays an important role in mediating or constraining climate goals, for both mitigation and adaptation. It is also known that human activity is the dominant force in causing water scarcity around the globe. This creates opportunities for improving efficiencies in water use and for synergy among water-using sectors of society, generating benefits that crossover to the global climate agenda, as some experiences around the world have already shown. In moving forward with feasible climate goals, water needs to become a more visible priority in climate policy to minimise trade-offs and maximise synergy between water and climate. Specifically, water needs to be considered explicitly in policy formulation and implementation so that it can leave behind its middle child status and claim its place with its energy and land siblings, which will create benefits across multiple areas of need.

AWWA's G. Tracy Mehan III: 'PFAS: The View from Drinking Water Utilities'

G. Tracy Mehan III, a frequent contributor to WaterWired, is executive director for government affairs at the American Water Works Association. He sent me a copy of this article from the September 2021 issue of the Journal of the AWWA.

Download PFAS and the View from Drinking Water Utilities 2021

I have also pasted the entire article below. Here is a copy of his 9 June 2021 Senate testimony.

Author’s note: On June 9, 2021, I testified on behalf of AWWA to the US Senate’s Committee on Environment and Public Works on the topic of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The following are edited excerpts from that testimony.

Drinking water utilities and state environmental agen- cies need to know where to focus monitoring efforts to understand what risks may be in source waters. To do that, we need to know where PFAS compounds have been produced and in what volumes. There are existing tools that the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) could be using to a greater degree to help address these concerns. For example, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) has data-gathering authority that the agency could use to garner more informa- tion from the manufacturing sector about the number of PFAS compounds that have been developed, and where and in what quantities they were produced. Present TSCA data indi- cate that manufacturers have already discontinued the use of a number of PFAS compounds, but state and local risk man- agers need more information to manage legacy compounds and to proactively manage PFAS that are still in use. Deploy- ing TSCA authorities in the service of safe drinking water is “source water protection” at the strategic level.

The Clean Water Act (CWA) can come into play as well. Information gleaned via TSCA to target assessments of PFAS in the environment will assist in the development of industrial pretreatment actions under that act. CWA authority will also impact the development of analytical methods for PFAS in industrial wastewaters and in devel- opment of appropriate and reliable treatment methods.

USEPA has yet to take substantial action under TSCA
or the CWA, but it instead recently proposed a rule that places the responsibility on public water systems to take the lead on identifying potential sources of PFAS in the en- vironment. This will once again place the burden on public water systems—and their customers—to address the PFAS issue that was borne by polluters. Using TSCA’s authorities, USEPA should provide a report in one year and update it every two years, describing

• the location of current and past PFAS production, import, processing, and use in the United States for individual PFAS compounds based on data collected through TSCA;

• appropriate actions taken or planned under TSCA to restrict production, use, and import of PFAS and sup- port improved risk communications with the public;

• actions taken by other federal agencies, and in particu- lar the Departments of Defense and Health and Human Services, to address PFAS concerns; and

• a summary of statutory and nonstatutory barriers en- countered in gathering and distributing information on PFAS to inform risk management decisions by USEPA, states, and local risk managers.

Better Understanding the Risk
Research is key to identifying substances for potential regula- tion. The lack of clear data on the health effects of most sub- stances has long held back regulatory determinations under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which requires that a substance be known to, or likely to, occur in public water systems with a frequency and at levels of public health concern. The act requires the regulation of such contaminants to present a meaningful opportunity for health risk reduction.

Different substances have unique structures and unique chemical properties that impact the development of analyti- cal methods, their fate and degradation in the environment, and the effectiveness of different treatment technologies. To effectively manage new contaminants, the environmental engineering community needs each piece of information to guide design and operation of treatment technologies.

For the water industry to have an effective PFAS response, extensive research programs are needed in these areas:

• Health effects data to identify substances that pose a human health risk

• Analytical methods to quantify levels of such con- taminants in environmental samples (natural waters, wastewaters, soil, finished water)

• Technologies to cost-effectively remove problematic contaminants from drinking water to levels that do not pose public health concerns

• Waste management strategies to ensure contaminated wastes can safely be managed

It is important that the Committee on Environment and Public Works request and examine technical and econom- ic analyses from career staff at USEPA before proceeding with any legislation to regulate PFAS.
