NCR - Major Water Supply Sources The NCR uses about 500 million gallons per day (mgd) Patuxent 10. 2 BG Annual avg. Potomac River flow is 7000 mgd Occoquan 8 BG Potomac River Potomac 7 BGD River 4 Primary reservoir Drought reservoir
Schematic of NCR Water Supply System 5
Where does the water go? l Public water systems in the NCR serve about 5 million customers, including: l l approximately 670 government-owned and leased regional buildings; prominent national “icon facilities” such as: l The U. S. Capitol Complex l The White House l The Pentagon l The world-class museums of the Smithsonian Institution l The memorials along Washington’s Mall 6
Water – Critical Infrastructure l Water is recognized as critical infrastructure in Presidential directives HSPD-7, 9, and 10, in the National Infrastructure Protection Plan, and in the Bioterrorism Act of 2002 7
A Comprehensive Approach to the National Capital Region’s Water Security l l l Coordinate Water Security Work Group Monitoring (biological/chemical) Modeling (River. Spill/ Pipeline. Net) Redundancy (Interconnections/Power) Operation Plans/BMP’s (Fire, Hospitals, Sanitation, Potable Water) l Training and Exercises 8
NCR’s Water Security Program - Monitoring l NCR Goal – early warning system for contaminants at all water intakes, all water treatment plant exits, high population areas, critical buildings l l l 17 monitors (biological and chemical) installed or being installed in Potomac (raw water) and in distribution systems (treated water) – operated by water utilities Regional communication network, Regional protocols Major funding through DHS-UASI FY 04 grant Additional funding – l USEPA Region III, STAG l FY 06 UASI grant (Maintenance/Radiation Monitors) 9
NCR Water Security Monitoring – Current and Proposed Sites 10
Aquatic Biomonitoring for Rapid, Continuous Toxicity Assessment 11
Problem Statement l l Chemical monitors alone are not adequate Aquatic biomonitor provide advantages l l Toxic effects monitoring Sensitive to wide spectrum of industrial and agricultural chemicals (metals, pesticides, organic solvents) Continuous (24/7), real-time monitoring Low maintenance costs 12
Intelligent Aquatic Biomonitoring System (i. ABS) 13
Monitor detects toxicity by sensing changes in fish behavior or physiological conditions 14

Expanded Water Security Network: Radiation Monitoring l l l Funded under an FY 06 DHS UASI grant Expands and enhances the existing water security monitoring network in the NCR Will be install and operated at 4 locations in the NCR l Near Intakes and critical distribution sites 31
Radiation Monitoring (contd. ) l l Real-time, inline, and continuous 24/7 monitoring Detects alpha, beta, gamma-emitting radio nuclides Monitors drinking water for any and all radiation contaminants Measures, records and alarms based on total micro. Curies per minute 32
