Florida Water & Climate Alliance Workshop
Workshop 12
The Florida Water and Climate Alliance (FloridaWCA) brings together interested stakeholders (public water supply utilities, local governments, water management districts and academic institutions) to increase the relevance and usability of climate change and variability data and tools to the specific needs of public water supply utilities and resource managers and planners. Initiated in 2010 by the UF Water Institute, in partnership with the Southeast Climate Consortium (SECC), Florida Climate Institute and the UF IFAS Center for Public Issues Education , six major public water supply utilities and three water management districts, the group continues to expand. Detailed information on the FloridaWCA is available the FloridaWCA website. This is a report of the twelfth workshop of the Florida and Water Climate Alliance.
