2 AGENDA - Overview - Perspective and complexities - Semiconductor Industry strategies - SF Bay Area-Delta - Background - Sensing needs - Looking forward - Summary - Call to action

3 Overview GOAL: establish a comprehensive management infrastructure at a regional level PROBLEM: challenges such as climate change impacts and growth, represent a critical long term risk to the future of abundance VISION: a diverse, integrated sensor network that catalyzes a systems level approach to managing a regional watershed

4 46 years ago.

5 Microprocessor scaling since 60 s higher func+onality & complexity Source: Intel

6 Introduction of new materials 11 Elements 15 Elements

7 Global Regulatory Complexity CIS

8 Addressing system complexities Many initiatives, stakeholders, drivers, interests Government (state, regional) must take the lead in driving coordination and collaboration Engagement by all key stakeholders in a comprehensive and strategic framework Prioritizing sensor needs, capabilities is critical Emphasis on strategic planning, technology development, continuous improvement, LEAN, 6- sigma is key

9 Semi sustainability strategies Manufacturing Design for environment Renewable energy Green Chemistry Energy/water/wastewater management Emissions/flow modeling Systems thinking Products Material content Energy C footprint Life Cycle Analysis Products in use Sensors SOCs Proactive Systems Long range technology roadmap Integrated collaboration Academic, supplier, manufacturing and government partners Sponsored industry R&D

10 Technology Life Cycle and Sustainability Technology Roadmap Concept development Internal or external Sponsored Research, consor+a Suppliers Research Exploration World Semiconductor Council Pathfinding, Architecture Development Design for Environment Policy/rules influencing: Materials Risk Assessment Process Equipment Desiign Waste treatment, Air emissions abatement Process, Product Development Compliance, permi6ng Audi>ng, Risk Assessment Chemical Replacement Projects Manufacturing Production +10 yrs 4-6 yrs 2-3 yrs Today

11 Drought landscape

12 Considering the SF Bay Area-Delta

13 SF Bay growth & loss of wetlands

14 SF Bay - Delta >75K square miles Largest west coast estuary in western Americas ~half of all surface water in California Drinking water for 25M Californians >7000 square miles of agriculture 2/3 of CA salmon pass through these waters

15 Water balance of system processes

16 SF Bay-Delta watershed map

17 Sensing vision 10M+ sensors by 2025 Areas Measuring 2025 projec>ons Supply Municipal wastewater Surface Water bodies Leaks (moisture), biological parameters., desal, flow, DW, water storage, precipita+on, weather Pump life, monitor, unit control /process opera+ons and ou^all, reuse, POTW, inputs Levels (reservoirs, snowpack, rivers), wetlands, river/stream health, dams, flood control 500K sensors 350K sensors (at 35 area POTWs) IM deployed sensors across the watershed Residen+al DW quality (organics, metals, BOD, COD), flow, pressure, leaks, storm water drains 5M sensors Groundwater Level, par+culates, well out gassing 500K sensors Environmental Industrial Ag, mining runoff, stormwater drains, runoff (metals, organics), nanomaterials, drugs, air em Discharge compliance, water use management, re- use and reclaim 2M 700K sensors Marine systems T salinity Ni Cr Cu turbidity org health, BTEX, NO 3-300K sensors Agricultural Soil moisture, runoff, water flow, control, leaks 500K

18 SUMMARY! TSensor development can drive integrated approch: " Emphasizing a regional, watershed scope " Stakeholders, customers, working within a framework " Priori+zed focus on cri+cal parameters to sense " Proliferate sensors, systems, globally! Semiconductor Industry strategies are applicable here! SF Bay/Delta an ideal loca+on to develop a system! System on a chip, mul+ple tes+ng capabili+es important! EHS sensors comprehend analy+c, regulatory concerns! Cri+cal to engage at the individual level

19 SUMMARY CALL TO ACTION Capabili+es Mul+- analyte sensors (metals: Se, Cu, Ni, for example) Organics (herbicide, pes+cide residues, nutrients, BTEX, NO 3 - Nano materials Engagement at the state/regional level Collabora+ve, integrated approach Build on exis+ng ac+vi+es In- situ development and scaling EHS applica+ons Regulatory connec+ons
