in support of protecting our most precious natural resource: water.
EVENT TOPICS
The preservation and protection of our most precious natural resource -water- is imperative. Learn about sustainable water management practices and implementations for your municipality or business.
Nature-based solutions are increasingly being recognized as an effective way to manage stormwater in urban and industrial settings, including through wetlands, rain gardens, bioswales and green roofs
The US Environmental Protection Agency recently proposed the first national drinking water standard for PFAs. “Forever chemicals” and their impact on human health and the environment have been long discussed with minimal regulations, indicating a potential transformative and invigorating change.
Sustainable water infrastructure can be costly, and, although grants and funding may seem difficult to ascertain, that doesn’t have to be the norm.
