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  \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:20230620T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230620T173000 DTSTAMP:20260430T045450 CREATED:20230524T154852Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230706T193716Z UID:10000033-1687276800-1687282200@www.reservoircenter.org SUMMARY:Integrating Water and Transportation Infrastructure Decision-Making in the Climate Change Era DESCRIPTION:The future of climate resilient communities starts with us.

water advocate and ultramarathon runner who recently completed 200 marathons in a year-long journey leading to the United Nations (UN) water conference on World Water Day\, 22 March 2023\, in New York. Over 12 months she traveled to locations most impacted by the global water crisis\, drawing attention to challenges faced by communities\, and demanding action from governments\, companies\, and individuals. Mina is the CEO and founder of Thirst Foundation\, a non-profit organization focused on raising awareness and driving action on water through large\, inspirational\, out-of-the-box campaigns that put water on top of the global agenda. To date\, she’s been joined by thousands of fellow water advocates. In March\, the World Water Run included participants from 200 countries and territories\, who collectively contributed more than 295\,000 miles. \nPhoto credit: Stephen Higgins\n \nAnd just for your information / interest\, here’s a list of the countries / territories that participated: Argentina\, Australia\, Canada\, China\, Egypt\, Finland\, France\, Germany\, Hong Kong\, Hungary\, India\, Indonesia\, Ireland\, Italy\, Malaysia\, Mexico\, New Zealand\, Norway\, Philippines\, Poland\, Portugal\, Qatar\, Saudi Arabia\, Serbia\, Singapore\, Slovakia\, South Africa\, Spain\, Sweden\, Switzerland\, United Arab Emirates\, United Kingdom\, United States of America.

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\n
