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 first in a two-part series, will explore the complex challenges facing rural water systems, and highlight practical strategies for advancing community resilience, featuring research insights and real-world examples of successful implementation.
This webinar series has three objectives:
- 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;
- Explore practical pathways to and examples of successful approaches to fostering resilience in rural water management; and
- Demonstrate the types, forms, and availability of technical assistance for small, rural and tribal communities, to address these challenges.
The webinar will include three speakers and a moderator:
- Shannon McNeeley, Pacific Institute
- Amy Weinfurter, WaterNow Alliance (moderator)
