As a result of the global climate crisis, our civil infrastructure, and natural resources interacting with our infrastructure assets, are increasingly experiencing stresses and failures. Projected increases in drought frequency, duration, and severity pose “…multifaceted and widespread impacts on economic, social, health, and environmental conditions.” As a call to action by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), civil engineers must play a mission-critical role in drought management now and decades in the future. Accordingly, the ASCE Library presents a special collection of ASCE publications, with important insights into the impacts of drought to our communities. Further, the ASCE addresses engineered solutions “…for managing drought for public water supply, agriculture, industry, hydropower, navigation, water-based recreation, fish and wildlife, and water quality.” For more information on climate risk and drought management, see Drought Management for a Changing Climate in the ASCE Library.
(The collection is curated by Dr. Meghna Babbar-Sebens, Associate Professor, Oregon State University; Dr. Ximing Cai, Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign; Dr. George F. McMahon, Vice President, National Expert, Water Management Arcadis U.S., Inc.; Dr. J. Pablo Ortiz-Partida, Senior Bilingual Climate and Water Scientist, Union of Concerned Scientists; Dr. Juneseok Lee, Associate Professor, Manhattan College; Mr. Rich Juricich, Principal Engineer, Colorado River Board of California; Dr. Samuel Sandoval Solis Professor, University of California, Davis; Ms. Gabriela Rendon Herrera, University of California, Davis; Dr. Rosario Sanchez, Senior Research Scientist, Texas Water Resources Institute; and Dr. Saul Arciniega Esparza, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Ingenería.)
ClimaTwin® is a leading climate risk intelligence solution for infrastructure assets and the built environment.
We empower infrastructure stakeholders to mitigate climate risks and assess adaptation actions across the total asset lifecycle. By connecting complex climate models and infrastructure digital twins, our solution enables engineers, owner-operators, and governments to aggregate, visualize, and analyze disparate datasets, revealing site-specific insights at a hyper-local scale. Benefits include 5-10x near-term returns and lifetime cost-avoidance by mitigating risks to systems, services, and societies.

Speaker Tom Walski, Senior Product Manager, Water at Bentley Systems, Inc., presents the webinar “Achieving Success with Digital Twins.” During the webinar, Walski discusses how digital twins “…help improve system operations and drive intelligent asset management decisions.” Further, the speaker addresses challenges and solutions when optimizing the capabilities of digital twins for water systems. Attendees learn about the following topics on digital twins and water utilities:
Sharing data between multiple technologies such as SCADA, GIS, and others;
Determining pump efficiency based on power usage inputs;
Implementing flexible controls under manual system pumps;
Ensuring the security of digital twin platforms to reduce risks;
Calibrating models for specific user requirements and use cases, and;
Advocating for stakeholder buy-in of digital twins at water utilities.

Solving today’s engineering problems and preparing stakeholders for the future of digital engineering
The Bentley Systems Civil User Conference 2022: Civil Products Keynote event features Francois Valois, Vice President of Civil Design at Bentley Systems, and Mo Harmon, Director of Industry Strategy and Civil Infrastructure at Bentley Systems. Bentley’s civil design products solve today’s engineering problems and prepare stakeholders for the future of digital engineering. During the Civil Products Keynote event, Francois Valois and Mo Harmon discuss leading software and technology advancements across numerous transportation disciplines.
From an industry perspective, federal and state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) across the United States warn of labor shortages, as a result of retirement, education, and demand. Beyond the U.S., labor shortages present a worldwide challenge. With respect to education, college enrollment in civil engineering is down 60% since 1994. To compound our challenges, new demand is outpacing current capacity of DOTs and consultants. In response to the challenges confronting civil engineering and transportation disciplines, the speakers discuss innovation supported by people, process, and technology.
