2nd Annual Water for All Summit

What's in Your Water? Integrated Water Resource Management

Whether drinking, cooking, bathing or watering crops - clean, safe water is the essential building block to human health and to thriving communities. Yet, watersheds in many growing communities across the United States are wading knee-deep in new challenges brought about by evolving residential and commercial needs. In areas across the nation, abrupt alterations to natural landscapes and an expanding diversity of contaminants have resulted in issues with water quality degradation.

How can an integrated approach to water resource management help us towards securing an abundant, safe and sustainable water future for our Basin and our region?

At the 2019 Summit, we discussed regional water challenges that impact our daily lives.

The 2nd Annual "Water for All" Summit discussed these key topics:

Water quality issues impacting real people in homes, businesses and schools across our communities

Best practices supporting integrated water resources management toward a healthy, sustainable water cycle

The vital importance of informed water governance and policy in an arena of often competing interests
