Weathering the StormsThe Technology and Society Forum of NJIT presents "Weathering the Storms in Newark." Street flooding caused by storms is much more than an inconvenience of urban life - it disrupts economic activity and hinders services provided by first responders. By stressing the capacity of sewers and water-treatment plants, flooding can also increase microbial threats to health. Contending with this infrastructure challenge in the City of Newark will be the topic of this presentation featuring Howard Neukrug, former water commissioner of Philadelphia, as keynote speaker. Technical experts from the region, including representatives from the Newark Department of Engineering and the Newark Department of Water and Sewer Utilities, will join Neukrug in exploring the problems flooding presents and the range of solutions available. As Philadelphia's water commissioner, Neukrug created the city's $2.5 Billion Green City, Clean Waters Program, a revolutionary approach to urban land and water management. Currently a Senior Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, he advises cities and utilities in areas such as civil engineering, urban planning and sustainability. He is also establishing a regional and global Water Policy Center. |
