Webinar: Using Climate Change Informed Precipitation Metrics for Water Quality Planning
On Jan. 11, 2022 from 2-3 p.m. EST, the National 303(d)/TMDL Webinar Series will host a webinar on using precipitation metrics in water quality planning activities such as TMDLs.
Climate change is shifting precipitation patterns worldwide, with major impacts on water quality and efforts to restore impaired waters. As the pace of change accelerates, it will become increasingly important to consider projections of future precipitation in water quality protection and restoration efforts.
The webinar will feature Michelle Miro, PhD, Water Resources Engineer at the RAND Corporation, who will present on incorporating climate projections into Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) Curves. Miro will demonstrate using future projected IDF curves developed for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed as a case study to illustrate how to use climate projections and think about future climate scenarios and uncertainty for planning and design.
Register for the webinar, which is free and open to the public. A webinar recording will be available online for those who cannot join on January 11.
Speaker Bio
Dr. Miro is water resources engineer at the RAND Corporation with a broad portfolio of work that supports international, federal and local emergency, infrastructure and resource management agencies with climate adaptation, disaster resilience and recovery, and water resources planning. She is a co-investigator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Mid-Atlantic Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (MARISA) program, where she leads climate adaptation and stormwater management research. She holds an MS in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles.
About the National 303(d)/TMDL Webinar Series
Since 2016, NEIWPCC, through a grant from the EPA, has hosted a series of informational webinars for state, territorial, and tribal program staff working on pollution budgets in impaired waterways under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act.
Past webinars feature presentations from a diverse array of experts on topics ranging from modeling tools to media relations skills. All previous webinar recordings, presentations, and supporting material are available in our archives. To propose a topic for a future webinar, submit an abstract here.
The NAB Conference brings together water quality professionals and other stakeholders across the Northeast to collaborate on clean water and environmental science challenges across shared regions, ecosystems, and areas of expertise.
This conference is open to all registrants, and attendees will include representatives from public and private sectors in New England and New York State, including participants from state, federal, tribal, and municipal governments; the private sector; academia; and watershed organizations.
Join us for the 32nd Annual Nonpoint Source Conference in Woodstock, Vermont. The Annual NPS Conference is the premier forum in the Northeast for sharing information and improving communication on NPS pollution issues and project.

Lake Champlain Research Conference @ University of Vermont Davis Center
The Lake Champlain Basin Program, Lake Champlain Sea Grant, and the Lake Champlain Research Consortium are pleased to announce the 2022 Lake Champlain Research Conference. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the US Clean Water Act of 1972, the conference will bring together lake and watershed stakeholders, including researchers, management practitioners, and the public, to learn about the state of research on Lake Champlain. The conference will provide an opportunity for discussion, networking, and collaboration. The event will be multi-jurisdictional, featuring representation and research from New York, Vermont, Québec, and beyond.
Originally scheduled for January 2022, the event has been postponed to May 2022 to safeguard participants’ health.
Please see the event webpage for more information and to register.
Historically held every three years, the event brings together hundreds of UST/LUST professionals, including tank inspectors; cleanup specialists; state, tribal, and territorial employees; federal regulators; and industry representatives to network and learn about emerging issues, policy, equipment, and many other topics. Visit the event webpage for all event updates including Call for Abstracts, registration, and other event happenings, include a pre-conference workshop to be held on September 12, 2022.
The theme for the U.S. Symposium on Harmful Algae is “Science to Support Solutions from Shore to Shore.” From freshwater to marine systems, the prevalence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) is a national environmental challenge, and solutions are needed. Celebrating this event in New York – the only state with Great Lake shorelines, marine coasts, and the diverse range of ecosystems between these extremes – creates an ideal setting to discuss progress in understanding algal bloom ecology and the solutions necessary to prevent and reduce HABs.
This conference is open to all registrants. Attendees will include national representatives and researchers from academia; state, federal, tribal, and municipal governments; the private sector; and watershed organizations. Registration will open in Spring 2022.
The symposium is coordinated by NEIWPCC, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and U.S. Geological Survey with support from the U.S. National Office for Harmful Algal Blooms at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
