Water Resources Workgroup

Purpose

The water resources industry is vastly diverse involving drinking water, flood control, conservation, wastewater treatment, stormwater management, treatment, and reuse. Limited resources and expanding regulatory requirements have created an increasingly complex and challenging task for those managing water. 

Goals

1. To provide a forum for water resources professionals, bringing experts together to share knowledge and ideas on how best to address NC water resource challenges.
2. To coordinate with other NC One Water workgroups and organizations such as NCDENR/DWR, NCWRA, WRRI, NCAPWA Water Resources Division, NCWQA, and SWANC to best serve our respective members with information and educational opportunities.
3. To assist in developing the agenda and identifying speakers for the annual Confluence Conference.
4. To provide rewarding leadership opportunities to water resources professionals.

• water quality
