AWWA Webcast on Water Shortages



(DENVER, CO) - On Wednesday, April 8, AWWA will host the Water Shortages: Finding a Solution webcast. Water shortages are a growing issue for utilities across the continent. Droughts may reduce surface water and groundwater supplies; environmental regulations may unexpectedly complicate availability and use of supplies; hurricanes and other natural disasters may cause systems to fail; and business decisions or legal positions may dictate shifting from one source of supply to another.

AWWA's focus during this webcast will explore Water Reuse, Aquifer Storage and Recovery, and how Low Inflow Protocol strategies can help a utility during a water shortage.

Webcast presenters include:
Maeneen Klein, Conservation Program Manager, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities
