Look were we are. We have to defend human decency.

Same vibe

Hey Jenn! Thank you and I am so happy you point it out - exactly the meaning of sharing! All the locations are based on what EPA collected, and for a such a large national dataset, I bet they will always have some location mismatch - I will correct the location you mentioned when I got time 🙂

It is everything about water! It can be technical-oriented or policy/governance-oriented. I think both sides can benefit from the interdisciplinary conversation!🙂

Yes we do! Just mention watersky to be included!

Hey there! Here you go! Any post that mention watersky or 💧☁️ will be collected here.

We conducted a spatially explicit analysis of real-world WRRFs and H2 users and found that using reclaimed water for H2 production is not just economically feasible, the divergence of the WRRF effluents only constitute a small percentage on the state level.

water resource recovery facilities are widely distributed, have a high water flow, and the treated wastewater effluent is usually of good enough quality. Even if additional water treatment is needed, this cost is negligible compared to other costs of producing H2 - its usually 1% of the overall LCOH

The water demand of a large H2 plant could easily make it one of the largest water users in a public water supply, and some H2 projects have actually been halted because of water supply issue. The treated wastewater effluents are an excellent source to supplement the water supply in this case, as -

Ooops I thought I attached the link lol, turns out I didn't. Here you go: data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/...
They have data for 20 polar bears but I mapped only one of them (the most active one 🤣)

Thanks Katharine!

I also made a storymap on WWTPs , or water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). People are increasingly using the latter name as we transition from "treatment-focused" to "resource-focused". This should come in handy for high school/undergrad-level introduction to our wastewater infrastructures.💧☁️

The shapefile is available for download at this link. Don't forget to cite EPA if you use it! 💧☁️

Like the idea! Starter pack + feed is definitely the way to kick start a community here!
