WEF Commends U.S. EPA Water Program Response to Climate Change

On May 15, the Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) submitted comments on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) draft of the National Water Program 2012 Strategy: Response to Climate Change.

WEF commended EPA on developing a comprehensive strategy to address climate change in the context of our nation’s clean water programs. WEF also noted gratitude for being able to participate and contribute to the Climate Ready Water Utilities workgroup. The workgroup was formed by EPA to examine the potential effects of climate change on water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure and to develop responses to these effects.
