Our state has something that a lot of states don’t, a resource that is essential for economic activity, public health, and quality of life—water. But if we don’t manage it well, it will be gone out to sea. We need to make better long-term investments in managing stormwater, wastewater and drinking water.
OARS’ 2013 Water Forum, “Choosing the Fate of our Water Resources: Adapting to Climate Disruption” held on April 6, 2013, addressed these concerns and presented practical action that we can take. See the presentation slides below.
