SUMMARY:Engineering the Next 50 Years of Water Infrastructure: User‑Inspi
 red Modeling and Science–Policy Integration f
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lu Liu\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, Iowa State Univer
 sity\, Ames\, IA\nTitle: Engineering the Next 50 Years of Water Infrastruc
 ture: User‑Inspired Modeling and Science–Policy Integration for Long
 ‑Term Planning\nWater supply and wastewater treatment systems are fundam
 ental to public health\, economic vitality\, and environmental sustainabil
 ity. Yet over the coming decades\, U.S. urban water infrastructure will fa
 ce escalating pressures from aging assets\, shifting water demands\, inten
 sifying competition among users\, and increasingly severe climate‑driven
  extremes. The scale\, uncertainty\, and interdependence of these challeng
 es render traditional planning approaches inadequate\, necessitating forwa
 rd‑looking\, integrated frameworks that account for environmental change
 \, stakeholder priorities\, and long‑term system dynamics. With unpreced
 ented federal investments underway\, we are at a critical moment to re‑e
 nvision how water infrastructure is planned and designed to endure the nex
 t 50 years.\nIn this seminar\, I will present my group’s research that d
 emonstrates user‑inspired modeling and science–policy integration can 
 support sustainable\, resilient\, and equitable water infrastructure plann
 ing across multi‑decadal horizons. I will conclude by highlighting new r
 esearch directions that respond to emerging challenges poised to transform
  water management practices
