Managing Water Resources in a Changing Climate
A study to help better manage and preserve the nation’s water resources in a changing climate is now available in a report compiled by multiple government agencies.
Water managers can use this report to support their efforts to provide water to communities and farms, generate power for cities, sustain ecological systems, or protect lives and homes from floods – all critical to the public’s health, safety, and quality of life.
What: The media are invited to a briefing to learn more about using science to develop the necessary strategies to prepare for, adapt to, and mitigate the effects of climate change on the nation’s water resources.
