SUMMARY:IL Section ASCE EWRI & COPRI Chicago Area Waterways Control Room Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS) is the network of existing rivers\, canals and hydraulic control structures that isolate Lake Michigan from the Chicago River\, the Calumet River\, and the North Shore Channel. The CAWS is designed\, during normal operation\, to drain away from Lake Michigan towards the Des Plaines River south of the Lockport Powerhouse in Lockport. IL. During periods of heavy precipitation\, the hydraulic control structures may be opened to allow water to flow out into Lake Michigan to prevent flooding in the urbanized area. These events called reversals allow polluted water to enter Lake Michigan and may result in swimming bans along the lakefront. \nThe operation of the CAWS is under the control of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD). The actual Waterways Control Room is located on the first floor of the Main Office Building located at 100 East Erie Street in Chicago\, Illinois. \nIn partnership with the Coasts\, Oceans\, Ports & Rivers Institute (COPRI)\, EWRI will host a discussion of the CAWS\, and a tour of the Waterways Control Room in the Main Office Building on October 8\, 2025\, at 5:00 PM. \n  \nThere is only space for 15 people on the tour\, which will last about 30 minutes. PDHs will not be given for this event. Contact Jerry McGovern at jeromemcgovern@att.net to reserve your space.

SUMMARY:Water System Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:UESI and EWRI are excited to jointly host an evening technical presentation on Water System Resiliency on Wednesday\, March 4\, 2026\, at V3 Companies in Woodridge\, IL. \nThe program will explore how water utilities prepare for\, respond to\, and recover from major system disruptions. Rebecca Cramer (Hazen and Sawyer) will discuss emergency planning and resiliency strategies for water distribution systems\, including preparing for extreme weather and infrastructure failures. Ramesh Kanapareddy (NSMJAWA) will share a real-world case study on community outreach and coordination during the repair of a critical 90-inch transmission main\, while Paul May (DuPage Water Commission) will highlight operational practices that ensure reliable water delivery across multiple communities. \n📅 March 4\, 2026 \n🕔 Check-in: 5:15 PM | 🎤 Presentations: 6:00 PM 🍽️ Dinner provided \n📚 PDHs available \nA great opportunity for water professionals to earn PDHs\, gain practical insight into system resiliency\, and connect with peers across the industry. Attendance is $75 per person with company sponsorship opportunities available for $350 (includes two registrations and advertisement throughout the night). If interested in sponsorship please contact Francisco Martinez\, fmartinezacosta@hanson-inc.com. \nRegister here: https://lnkd.in/gD2nrHj9

SUMMARY:Tour of Robbins Stormwater Park
DESCRIPTION:EWRI has arranged for a guided tour of the recently completed Robbins Stormwater Park located near 135th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Robbins\, IL. The project was constructed in two phases to provide flood relief for the Village of Robbins. The first phase\, the outlet to the Cal Sag Channel was completed in 2024. The second phase\, the detention facility was completed this year. This project is designed to remove 1300 parcels from the existing flood plain and provide recreational opportunities for residents.  A fact sheet about the project can be found here: \nhttps://mwrd.org/sites/default/files/documents/FactSheet_Robbins_220722_0.pdf \n  \n  \nThe tour will last about 30 minutes and Q&A period will follow the tour. \nWe will assemble in the south parking lot\, located off of Claire Boulevard\, south of 135th Street. This will involve walking up to a mile in distance so wear comfortable footwear.  The park is ADA compliant. \nContact Jerry McGovern at jeromemcgovern@att.net to reserve a spot or for more information.

SUMMARY:Bentley OpenFlows Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar for an upcoming Bentley OpenFlows Workshop. This session will provide an overview of best practices\, efficient workflows\, and practical applications for designing drainage within OpenRoads Designer. Whether you’re looking to build your skills or improve your current workflow\, this training will offer valuable insights for transportation and civil engineering professionals. \nDay 1: Foundational Design & Modeling Fundamentals \n\nMorning Session: Investigate stormwater design and analysis with Bentley’s OpenFlows Storm. To build a strong foundation\, we will dive into hands-on exercises that review key hydrologic and hydraulic concepts\, analyze system design requirements\, and show you how to model physical infrastructure digitally.\nAfternoon Session: In this interactive session\, we will walk through the foundational workflow of building a model from scratch: compiling your GIS or CAD source data\, creating the network layout\, and routing flows to ensure proper system conveyance.\n\nDay 2: Advanced Mechanics & Real-World Solutions \n\nMorning Session: Elevate your modeling capabilities by tackling complex drainage components. Learn the nuances of culvert hydraulics\, design effective detention and retention ponds\, and discover how integrated 1D/2D modeling can simulate complex overland flood paths and surface runoff behavior.\nAfternoon Session: Bring it all together in a final\, cumulative workshop. You will apply your newly acquired skills to a comprehensive project scenario\, utilizing Bentley’s end-to-end stormwater solutions to troubleshoot\, optimize\, and finalize a production-ready engineering model.\n\nDates: September 22nd – 23rd \nLocation: 33 N La Salle\, Chicago\, IL \nRegister Here!
