October is #EmployeeOwnership month! At LimnoTech, we are proud to be a 100% employee-owned (ESOP) company. In this video, staff share what it’s like to work at LimnoTech and what it means to be an employee-owner. #EmployeeOwned #ESOP #WeSucceedTogether

It's #WorldWaterDay! Let's work together to protect water and make it a catalyst for progress. This year's theme, set by United Nations Water (UN -Water), is "Glacier Preservation." Why are glaciers important? ??Glaciers are critical to the water cycle. They provide essential fresh water supplies for drinking water and sanitation systems, agriculture, industry, clean energy production, and healthy ecosystems. ??Glaciers also contribute to oceanic circulation, regulating heat, carbon dioxide, and nutrients that sustain food webs across the globe. ??By reflecting vast amounts of solar radiation into space, glaciers help cool the Earth, acting as a natural shield against excessive warming. What actions can we take? ??Reduce global emissions (renewable energy sources) ??Strengthen water resource management (sustainably manage meltwater) ??Adaptation planning for vulnerable communities (build resilient communities that rely on glaciers for water) ??Ecosystem restoration (protect and restore ecosystems around glaciers) ??International cooperation (collective action) [Source: UN Waters, Save Our Glaciers, World Water Day 2025: Fact Sheet] Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/dmPq_Uq #SDG6 #waterstewardship #valuingwater #climateresilience #nature #ourfuture #foreveryone #unwater #drinkingwater #waterislife #naturebasedsolutions?

LimnoTech is Celebrating ‘50 years’ in Business in 2025!!! ??We kicked off our festivities with a t-shirt design contest. ?? ?? Our team did not disappoint.

Excited to give a keynote on "#EquariusAI: Query-able Architecture to Provide Transparency and Financial Risk Intelligence for Corporate Water Procurement" at the Michigan Institute for Data and AI in Society (MIDAS) Symposium. #Counterparty financial risk management from #waterscarcity is a core challenge for facilities managers at the world's largest corporations as they negotiate water purchase contracts. Whether data centers, chemical or industrial manufacturing plants, distilleries or other, understanding financial counterparty risk informs capital deployment, insurance underwriting, inventory buildup or supply chain capacity. With thanks to Tad Slawecki, Iuliana Mogosanu and partners at Equarius Risk Analytics, LimnoTech, Kurita Group, AWS - Water Systems, and many others for insights, model building and testing on our AI Journey. #waterrisk #counterparty #financialstability #ai #watercontracts

The Future of Great Lakes Research: Developing a Collaborative Science Plan by J. Val Klump and John F. Bratton, Ph.D., P.G. “In addition to shoring up the traditional research and monitoring enterprise, the Great Lakes community is starting to see the benefits of investing in engagement with Indigenous Knowledge holders and expanding participatory science networks. Many residents of the Great Lakes have deep knowledge of their local bays and shores based on decades of work and play on and near the water, as well as multiple generations of family and community experience. University and agency researchers are starting to join forces with these place-based experts, listening to and learning from them, while helping to train them on data and sample collection methods that expand the eyes and ears of the traditional researchers.” Read the full article in the International Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR) Lakes Letter – Science and Hope: https://lnkd.in/gFEi3FJn

The University of Michigan Urban Collaboratory and the Center for Risk Analysis Informed Decision Engineering (University of Michigan College of Engineering) hosted a 'Water and Energy Resiliency Summit (https://lnkd.in/g8zkFdEu).' The goal was "to bring together infrastructure providers to collaborate on increasing resilience in Southeast Michigan." Co-sponsors and key summit participants included Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, and ITC Holdings Corp. Timothy Dekker, President and CEO of LimnoTech, shared, "It was the first time the water and power utilities joined together for a combined event focused on the resilience of their systems across Southeast Michigan. It was an important discussion with commitments to follow up across organizations to develop joint strategies for managing resiliency in a time of changing weather patterns and aging infrastructure."

Caitlin Lulay, EIT and LimnoTech’s Agriculture Practice Area Lead, Derek Schlea, share how LimnoTech and partners used the Agriculture Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) to develop watershed management plans for two southeastern Michigan watersheds. You can read the ACPF Use Example here: https://lnkd.in/gQFPMzQw The ACPF “is a free ArcGIS toolbox that leverages high-resolution geospatial data to help local farming communities better address their soil and water conservation needs.” To learn more about the ACPF → https://lnkd.in/gckSmEP3

Thank you Lisa Woodke for inviting the Center for Digital Asset Finance #agriculturalfinance team, LimnoTech, and Triangle Digital to partake in #agronomy meetings in Frankenmuth. Given that US #farmcredit is financed through the #agriculturalbond market, and global asset managers are seeking to reduce #fiduciaryrisks in their holdings, #resiliencyfinance offers a solution. This is grounded in farm operations data. Our vision is to pilot a #resilient and #profitable digital solution to monetize emissions using carbon-linked financing, with support from the Great Lakes Protection Fund and the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research. The design requires deep understanding of the export market and operational issues #farmers face in an uncertain policy climate. Great discussions between UM students Lis Huang , Ben DeVries, Katie Kowal, Mariana Chapouto Lopes, Shreya Joshi, Tzu-Ting Lin, Derek Schlea, Michael Ruddock and members of the farming community.

Peter Klaver is in Toronto, Canada, for the 58th International Conference on Water Management Modeling (ICWMM). If you are at the conference, don’t miss Peter’s talk, “A Review of One-Dimensional Finite-Volume Solvers for Mixed Free-Surface and Pressurized Flows,” on Thursday, March 6 at 4:00 PM (EST). Read Peter’s abstract here: https://lnkd.in/gYuaPySm Conference details → https://lnkd.in/gC3xU4iw “…the ICWMM is designed for any who have a direct stake in stormwater management, non-point source pollution, or urban water systems.”

My work to monitor watersheds with LimnoTech was featured in a recent webinar. Tom Zimnicki and I ran through the basics of this 5-year project. Watch a recording of it here --> https://lnkd.in/gmrxV_sQ.
