The Reservoir Center distributed solar eclipse glasses to all as we gathered on the lawn in the Capital Riverfront Park to view the eclipse. We were graced with wonderful weather (high in the low 70s) and limited cloud cover to visualize an 87% eclipse of the sun. A member of our group even brought a telescope with appropriate solar tinting to capture images of the special event. \nAfter the maximum eclipse had passed a portion of our group walked along the Anacostia River collecting trash and recycling to beautify our Navy Yard neighborhood. After an hour of cleaning up the community\, we refreshed those calories lost by having an ice cream social outside of the Ice Cream Jubilee\, which is right outside of our Reservoir Center property. Again\, given the beautiful weather we were able to enjoy our treats outside where we were able to continue the engaging conversation on our respective interests during this upcoming water week. \nWe want to thank everyone who participated. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 8\, 2024 URL:https://www.reservoircenter.org/event/solar-eclipse-watch-party-community-cleanup/ LOCATION:Reservoir Center\, 301 Water St SE\, Washington\, 20003\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.reservoircenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Solar-eclipse-montage_1000px.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240404 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240405 DTSTAMP:20260403T050949 CREATED:20240227T173553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240229T133632Z UID:10000045-1712188800-1712275199@www.reservoircenter.org SUMMARY:Co-work @Reservoir: Government Affairs and Communications DESCRIPTION:Work by water with us! \nJoin the Reservoir Center team for regular opportunities to work at Reservoir and build community with other water professionals that work in your field.   \nTo build community we’ll co-work in the open collaboration space but private office spaces will be available if you need to take virtual meetings.  1 week before the day you will be contacted with details related to lunch and office space needs.

It was a fun and informative evening filled with impressive films and great networking. The movies’ screened were water-focused documentaries “Upstream\, Downriver” and “A River Out of Time”. \n“Upstream\, Downriver” takes viewers into the heart of the battle for water justice. Powerful stories with frontline community activists are interwoven with historical context about landmark regulations that significantly reduced water pollution in the U.S. but failed to serve disadvantaged communities that are hardest hit by today’s climate crisis. \n“A River Out of Time” follows a crew of scientists\, artists\, educators\, and river lovers on a trip that was simultaneously a celebration of modern river life and a critical look at how we interpret the Colorado River’s history and use its waters. In 1869\, a small group of surveyors led by John Wesley Powell set out to map the unknown extent of the Colorado River Basin. 150 years later\, this team set out to raft in Powell’s footsteps in an effort to reevaluate Powell’s legacy\, absorb the unquantifiable power of place\, and articulate what the future may hold for water in the American West. \nFernando Castro-Alvarez\, Regional Liaison for the Bureau of Reclamation\, provided an in-depth overview of the challenges and opportunities facing the Colorado River\, along with sharing his personal connection to the water challenges confronting the western U.S. Visitors were treated to pizza\, local craft beer\, and popcorn. We hope you can join us for our next movie night! \nSpecial thanks to our event co-hosts: Anacostia Riverkeeper\, Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA)\, Women’s Aquatic Network\, Potomac Riverkeeper Network \n                       \n  URL:https://www.reservoircenter.org/event/reservoir-center-movie-night/ LOCATION:Reservoir Center\, 301 Water St SE\, Washington\, 20003\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.reservoircenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Movie-night-landscape_100px.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230921T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230921T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T050957 CREATED:20230810T112052Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231009T131143Z UID:10000035-1695310200-1695315600@www.reservoircenter.org SUMMARY:Innovation and Access: Water Solutions for Underserved Communities DESCRIPTION:We hosted a thought-provoking conversation on water access for underserved communities. Our event co-hosts included Anacostia Riverkeeper\, DigDeep\, Moonshot Missions\, U.S. Water Alliance\, Engineers Without Borders-USA\, and the Rural Community Assistance Partnership. \nIn addition to experts representing our co-hosts\, Mae Wu\, Deputy Assistant Administrator for the EPA Office of Water offered remarks about the Biden Administration’s $200 million investment in technical assistance to communities to improve access. The conversation centered around investment in human capacity within communities\, infrastructure\, engineering\, technology\, and the need for human-centered design for water projects. Speakers shared inspiring experiences about leveraging existing solutions\, improving relationships and the value of sharing knowledge between utilities and communities. \nThe event emphasized the urgency of this issue\, and the opportunity we must pursue together to rise to the challenge of delivering water to communities in need. \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n  \nAGENDA: \nIntroductory Remarks \n\nDr. Lindsay Birt\, Client Solutions Manager\, Xylem\nBoris Martin\, CEO\, Engineers Without Borders USA\nMae Wu\, Deputy Assistant Administrator\, Office of Water\, EPA\n\n  \nPanel 1 “Water Access and Service Challenges in Historically Underserved Communities” \nModerator: Dr. Lindsay Birt\, Client Solutions Manager\, Xylem \n\nMaranda Saling\, Government Affairs and Policy Manager\, RCAP\nPaula Conolly\, Director of Local Engagement and Senior Advisor for Distributed Infrastructure\, US Water Alliance\nEdna Primrose\, Board Director\, DigDeep\n\n  \nPanel 2 “Technology and Engineering Solutions to Improve Water Access\, Service\, and Community Outcomes” \nModerator: Travis Loop\, Founder\, waterloop \n\nTrey Sherard\, Anacostia Riverkeeper\, Anacostia Riverkeeper\nEllie Carley\, Program Manager\, Engineers Without Borders USA\nAndrew Kricun\, P.E.\, Managing Director\, Moonshot Missions URL:https://www.reservoircenter.org/event/innovation-and-access-water-solutions-for-underserved-communities/ LOCATION:Reservoir Center\, 301 Water St SE\, Washington\, 20003\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.reservoircenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/montage-event-picture.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230908T171500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230908T184500 DTSTAMP:20260403T050957 CREATED:20230821T193006Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230914T124535Z UID:10000036-1694193300-1694198700@www.reservoircenter.org SUMMARY:Kayaking River Clean-Up @ Kingman Island DESCRIPTION:An Evening On The Anacostia River \nThe Reservoir Center continues to advance our key pillars of education and community engagement.

And where do you fit in? \nThe effects of environmental degradation and climate change fall first on under-resourced\, and often minority\, communities. Learn how you can contribute your time\, energy\, and skills to support marginalized communities in a just transition. \nThe participants met with a diverse group of experts leading on environmental justice in their communities and driving equity and inclusion in their organizations. After short introductions\, everyone had the chance to mix and mingle with these leaders and their peers to ask authentic questions\, learn from their story\, and get their advice on how to leverage their skills to support environmental justice movements\, local and global.  \nThis event continued our Careers for Change series that empowers both college students and rising professionals to harness their skills and energy to have a positive impact in addressing sustainability challenges. \n  \nThank you to our co-sponsors: \n \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
