Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, NAE, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, will address a staff workshop at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) as the GAO prepares a congressionally requested report on municipal water technologies. At the workshop, slated January 29-30, 2015, in Washington, D.C., more than 20 leading water experts will convene with the GAO to address water scarcity in the U.S., discussing the state of the art in a wide range of municipal water supply and technology topics. They include making more efficient use of the nation’s current freshwater resources through system operations and conservation technologies; augmenting current resources through water treatment, desalination, and reuse technologies; and factors affecting implementation of such approaches (including tradeoffs between technologies, tradeoffs between technology-based solutions and other (non-tech) ways of achieving efficiencies, and regional considerations). Dr. Boulos’ presentation will focus on leveraging smart water networks to transform the water industry, helping to optimize water utility management, reduce inefficiencies, ensure infrastructure sustainability and resilience, and improve drought management and customer service.
