1 THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM Managing Water for the City of the Future CITY OF DUNEDIN AND THE SWITCH URBAN WATER NETWORK Daniel H. Yeh, PhD, PE, LEED AP College of Engineering, University of South Florida

2 What is SWITCH? Sustainable urban Water Management Improves Tomorrows City s Health Multi-year project funded by the European Union 33 partners and 13 demonstration cities The SWITCH approach to Urban Water Management is aimed at solving the challenge of water management in the city of the future, such as Climate change Increased urbanization and growth Aging or insufficient infrastructure

3 SWITCH cities Accra Ghana Alexandria Egypt Beijing China Belo Horizonte Brazil Birmingham UK Cali Colombia Chongqing - China Emscher Region Germany Hamburg Germany Lima Peru Lodz Poland Tel Aviv Israel Zaragoza - Spain

4 Research covers the entire urban water cycle Agriculture Climate Household s Natural system rivers, oceans, aquifers Dams Water treatment Reservoir s Cities Industry Greywater collection and treatment STP Districts Ocean outfall Pipelines

5 SWITCH research topics Connecting research to practice and change through Learning Alliances Examples of research themes: Stormwater management, low impace development, green roofs Efficient use of water, desalination, water recycling Closing the loop on water and waste systems

6 Dunedin, FL, USA Dunedin joined SWITCH as Associate city in June 2010 First North American city in network

7 Dunedin as SWITCH Associate City Model for sustainable coastal urban water management A. Biodgett, USF

8 Coastal urban water management RO Water Treatment Plant Wastewater Treatment Plant

9 Why Dunedin? A. Biodgett, USF A. Biodgett, USF Dunedin's innovative approaches to urban water management are providing concrete examples of how cities around the world can act now to ensure a more sustainable future, particularly in relation to: Dunedin's careful management of its urban well field system A 'near closed loop' urban water management approach, through the extensive use of recycled wastewater for irrigation and stormwater infiltration Innovative wireless metering for conservation and management of both drinking and reclaimed water systems A commitment to sustainability, through the Certified Green Local Government designation and other green initiatives.

10 Current City Water project Collaboration with USF (Dr. Daniel Yeh and research group) and University of Birmingham (Dr. Rae Mackay and research group) City Water Balance (CWB) model Strong assistance and support from city staff across departments Objective: develop CWB for the city to use as a decision making water management tool, to evaluate possible outcomes of scenarios

11 CWB Model being tested at select cities Birmingham, UK (where model was developed at UB) Alexandria, Egypt Accra, Ghana Dunedin, USA

12 City Water Balance (CWB) Mapping the cities water demand, supply, drainage, treatment and reuse. Scoping the impact of changing these features either locally or globally Exploring alternative Water management options

13 City Water Toolkit

14 Model Input Cost and Energy

15 CWB Output Flows Examine possible outcomes from different scenarios

16 City Water Models The different scoping models provide indicators for exploring and comparing future strategies City Water Economics Pricing and cost recovery City Water Drain Pluvial and fluvial flooding and flood risk City Water Balance Water demand, flows, quality, energy and cost City Water Futures Expansion and environmental change

17 CityWater Collaboration A. Biodgett, USF A. Biodgett, USF (l-r) Tom Burke (City Engineer), Paul Stanek (Water Division Director), Ken Stidham (Wastewater Division Director), Dr. Daniel Yeh (USF), Ellen Spencer (U Birmingham), Pacia Hernandez (USF) and many others! A. Biodgett, USF

18 History of collaboration between Dunedin and USF A. Biodgett, USF Dr. Bob Carnahan (USF), Dr. Jeff Cunningham (USF), Irvin Kety, Tom Burke, Paul Stanek, John van Amburg, Ken Stidham, Doug Hutchens, many others Projects with RO water plant. Optimization and development of new water treatment technologies. USF and partner technological resources made available to city City facilities for student research and field trips. Help train next generation of water professionals. Supported various student research projects Josh Goldman (MS), Michael Keen (MS), Russell Ferlita (PhD), Mike Gerdjikian (MS), Lauren Valdez (MS) A. Biodgett, USF

19 What SWITCH could mean for Dunedin International exposure (first North American city in network) Opportunities to exchange knowledge with other SWITCH cities and beyond Dunedin's experiences and leadership in managing water resources can serve as a model for other coastal sites and can be a valuable input into the SWITCH Global Learning Alliance network. Opportunities for involvement from USF School of Global Sustainability (incoming Director, Dr. Kala Vairavamoorthy, is SWITCH Scientific Director) Leverage SWITCH affiliation for potential funding (state, federal, international )
