Florida Water & Climate Alliance Webinar
Workshop 5
Public Water Supply Utilities Climate Impacts Working Group
The Public Water Supply Utilities Climate Impacts Working Group (PWSU-CIWG) is focused on increasing the relevance and usability of climate change and variability data and tools to the specific needs of public water supply utilities in Florida. The partners are interested in understanding and addressing how climate variability/change and sea level rise may impact planning and operations of Florida’s public water supply utilities. This is a report of the fifth workshop, the first since being awarded a NOAA CSI project bringing together interested stakeholders from public water supply utilities, water management districts and academic institutions in Florida. Initiated by the UF Water Institute, Florida Climate Institute and the UF IFAS Center for Public Issues Education in partnership with six major public water supply utilities and three water management districts, participation continues to grow.
