Building Resilience in Rural Water Systems (Part 2)

More Details

Overview & Objectives: Rural water systems are increasingly challenged by changing weather patterns, natural disasters, aging infrastructure, and limited funding—pressing decision-makers to develop effective, resilient strategies in the face of these complex realities. This webinar, the second in a two-part series, will explore practical strategies for advancing community resilience, featuring research insights and highlighting real-world examples of successful approaches at water systems across the country. 

This webinar series has three objectives:  

1. Describe the effect of changing weather patterns, natural disasters, and other emerging risks on rural water systems, and the considerations decision-makers face in creating strategies and responses that build resilience to these changes; 
2. Explore practical pathways to and examples of successful approaches to fostering resilience in rural water management; and 
3. Demonstrate the types, forms, and availability of technical assistance for small, rural and tribal communities, to address these challenges.
