In a sign of its enduring relevance and demand, Sustain SoCal will host the 10th annual Water Solutions conference this month, marking a decade of delivering important insights regarding the use, reuse, and sustainability of one of the world’s most critical resources.
Water Solutions 10 will help resource managers explore the latest strategies for water capture, storage, groundwater replenishing, and combatting contamination, among other important issues. At Sustain SoCa’ls Water Solutions 5 event, the organization partnered with the California Data Collaborative. With a nod to that event, Water Solutions 10 will explore today’s solution portfolio with added emphasis on data and AI applications. Cybersecurity will also be a major point of focus as multiple Chief Innovation Security Officers (“CISO”) are set to speak and be in attendance.
The conference will address regional collaborations and policy efforts as a means to ensure the supply of water throughout Southern California. Affordability will be a major talking point as speakers examine case studies in water importation, groundwater rights, reuse, desalination projects, and more. The agenda has not yet been fully developed, but attendees can anticipate solutions that explore recycling, distribution, anti-contamination efforts such as PFAS mitigation, stormwater capture, hydrogen power, and wastewater innovation.
Key aspects of the event will include:
- Notable speakers addressing trends in water use and strategies for future sustainability.
- Opportunities to network with peers and influencers concerned about the state of California’s water resources.
- Real world applications of the materials discussed.
- Information-based interaction with guest luminaries to build a deeper understanding of resource reality, the nuances of the regulatory landscape, and cutting-edge best practices.
The event will take place Tuesday, Aug. 26 in Irvine, California, at the University of California’s UCI Beall Applied Innovation Center. Past years’ Water Solutions events have explored themes such as “Applications of AI Advanced Data Modeling: Water Treatment & Distribution,” “The Water-Hydrogen Nexus,” “Predicting Atmospheric Rivers: A Path toward FIRO,” and “Efficiency and Innovation in Irrigation.”
Sustain SoCal has a long history of exploring and implementing pragmatic solutions to the real-world challenges created by growth, change and inefficiency throughout Southern California. The organization conducts conferences, workshops, and networking events, all geared to helping share pertinent knowledge and ensuring economically impactful progress.
