Leveraging digital solutions to bolster community resilience is critical as we face an increase in weather-related events and natural disasters. Check out how remote sensing could shape the future of natural disaster assessment from Alliance Member Water Environment Federation.

As cities across the US face a barrage of climate impacts this summer, resilience is top of mind for the water sector, and one of the most common, costly, and deadly disasters we face today is flooding. But inventive solutions exist that present opportunities to build resilient communities where people live, work, and play. Water professionals, utilities, public works departments, city agencies, climate leaders, advocates, and local governments all have a role in bringing these thriving communities to fruition. We invite you to revisit our "Water Rising: Equitable Approaches to Urban Flooding" report to find collaborative strategies for a more just, climate-secure future.

This Independence Day, we are celebrating a #WaterWin by highlighting HRSD's Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow (SWIFT) program. Through the construction of a 31,000-ft pipeline under the James River, SWIFT takes highly treated water that would otherwise be discharged into the Elizabeth, James, or York rivers and puts it through additional rounds of advanced water treatment to meet drinking water quality standards. This undertaking is a remarkable reminder of the innovation, investment, and commitments being made to ensure a sustainable and secure water future for all Americans.

The City of Fort Collins, CO, a US Water Alliance member, is looking for an Executive Director of One Water to provide strategic leadership to all water-based utilities in the area. Learn more and apply today! https://lnkd.in/ekwi-jDT #OneWater #WaterJobs
