Room: Mile High Ballroom 4C
Track: Water Resources & Conservation Management
Moderator: Lisa Krentz
This session discusses work that is preparing utilities for the
future, including assessments on how system designs may need
to change to respond to water use; as well as how community
development and climate change will influence the need to
both identify new supplies of water and strategies to reduce
water demand.

Solutions for the Scourge of HABs
2:00–5:00 p.m.
Room: Mile High Ballroom 4D
Track: Water Quality Challenges
Moderator: John Albert
Although the occurrence of harmful algae blooms (HABs) is a
problem as old as organized water collection and conveyance
itself, such events continue to pose significant health, aesthetic,
and treatment challenges in source waters around the world.
Spurred by a combination of both natural and anthropogenic
factors, the recent proliferation of HABs necessitates new and
innovative solutions for the modern world.

Nitrification: Identification, Response, and Prevention
2:00–5:00 p.m.
Room: Mile High Ballroom 4E
Track: Water Quality Challenges
Moderator(s): Rich Giani
Because ammonia is present when chloramine is used,
chloramination comes with the risk of distribution system
nitrification. Nitrification in drinking water distribution systems
is undesirable. Some water utilities may not realize the extent of
nitrification in their distribution systems. This session provides
a closer look at the nitrification process, management, and
success stories from the field.
