Acknowledgment: Azadeh Akhavan Bloorchian of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and Thomas McGrew of Drexel University contributed to this review and are acknowledged. The stormwater and green infrastructure (GI) described the current development in four categories: (1) new studies of GI and low impact development (LID) system performance; (2) GI/LID planning assessments; (3) macro-scale hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of GI/LID systems; and (4) social implications of GI/LID systems. The sustainability in wastewater treatment reviewed wastewater as a resource, wastewater treatment, and wastewater treatment plant carbon and energy footprint. Mol et al. (2011) studied aquifer thermal energy storage and energy recovery from drinking water, concluded that public water utilities can make use of heat and cold from the water cycle and public water utilities could play a role about extracting energy from water.Sekar and Sinha (2011) described the development of a web and GIS based platform for quantitative risk Federation assessment for water and wastewater pipelines, where the probability, consequence and the threat due to pipeline failure were considered. Real-time data derived by GIS from water and wastewater utilities were used to evaluate the studied parameters. This platform as a comprehensive tool for sustainable utility risk management would support utilities to access to their respective data for risk assessment. Sustainable Water Resources ManagementPeng et al. (2011) described case study on the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city about how to manage local water resources in a water scarce urban setting.

Recent studies have shown that U.S. water mains are failing at an accelerating rate. In the meantime, water utilities are challenged by limited funding. It is important that water mains with much higher likelihood of failure (LOF) are replaced before they fail to avoid possible high consequences, such as public safety threats, high financial losses, and environmental damages. This article presents a model to evaluate the LOF of water mains using data available in geographic information systems (GIS). A case study is presented comparing 2 years of actual water main break data with the results of the model. The comparison shows a strong correlation between the model prediction and the actual break rates of main pipes; thus, it validates the robustness of the model and shows that funding can be used more efficiently by focusing on the water mains with a high LOF as predicted by the GIS model. This model has been used in New Jersey American Water's distribution systems. It can be used in other water systems to help guide water main replacement efforts.
