Water Sustainability through Nanotechnology: Next-Generation Water Monitoring Systems Webinar Registration Now Open! When: Wednesday 18 January 2017, 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM Time Zone: (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US and Canada) To register now, please visit this link. The development of next-generation water monitoring systems is an essential element of ensuring a safe and abundant water supply. For example, water monitoring and analytics are used to assess quantity and availability of water for specific uses, to identify causes of contamination, and to evaluate potential remediation strategies. Yet, currently, less than 30% of the Nation’s surface water bodies are assessed by EPA, states, or tribes, partly because of the high cost of traditional fixed-station water quality monitoring. In this webinar, panelists will discuss the current state of and future opportunities related to water monitoring. Justin Mattingly (Water Environment & Reuse Foundation) will describe water monitoring needs related to reuse, and this broad overview will be followed by two specific use cases: Nick Dokoozlian (E&J Gallo Winery) will describe his work with distributed sensors for improved grape yield and water use efficiency, and Daniel Barta (NASA) will speak in technical detail about the water monitoring needs aboard spacecraft.
