“Since we can’t directly observe groundwater, how do we determine where it is, how it moves, or how much is available?” In this edition of West Yost Word, 'To Uncertainty and Beyond! Addressing Uncertainty in Groundwater Modeling,' Garrett Rapp, PE shares how groundwater modeling is used to understand unseen water systems, enabling modelers to provide informed recommendations on groundwater management.

When designing a plant, it is important to include emergency systems in the design, considering factors like location, layout, and power. Backup generators for power and offline monitoring systems are crucial to help prevent potential disasters. Did you know? In California, due to regulations, some facilities can only run their backup generators for 20 hours a year (for testing and maintenance purposes) to make sure they will work during an emergency event.? Many backup generators run on diesel. Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a regulated contaminant, meaning there are strict regulations on acceptable emission limits. In California, these regulations are meant to reduce the DPM to levels below 0.01 g/bhp-hr (grams per brake-horsepower -hour). What are ways you prepare for emergency events in your area? Comment below. #westyost #water #engineering #cybersecurityawareness #backupgenerator #emergency #regulatedcontainmant #california #greatplacetowork

Have you heard of CCE??CCE or Consequence-driven, Cyberinformed Engineering (CCE) is a methodology developed by the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and West Yost is partnering with them to adopt this methodology in the water sector.?? ?? CIE is a method of changing the engineering design process to design systems with the assumption that your plant will be breached. The philosophy is that by adding protective measures to start, you are limiting the ability of a successful cyber-attack.? ? How bad of a day could you have if a malicious cyber-actor owned your control system?? ? #cybersecurity #otcr #operationstechnology #resilience #water #engineering #westyost #californina #arizona #oregon #greatplacetowork #jointheteam #didyouknow #industryinsight #october #cybersecuritymonth #knowledge #prevention??
