Florida Water & Climate Alliance Webinar
Workshop 7
Florida Water and Climate Alliance (FloridaWCA)
Formerly: “Public Water Supply Utilities Climate Impacts Working Group”
This is a report of the seventh workshop. Thirty-two people participated in this workshop, the largest to date and once again adding organizations that had not been represented previously. The Florida Water and Climate Alliance (FloridaWCA) brings together interested stakeholders from public water supply utilities, local governments, water management districts and academic institutions in Florida focused on increasing the relevance and usability of climate change and variability data and tools to the specific needs of public water supply utilities. 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. 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 in partnership with six major public water supply utilities and three water management districts, the group continues to expand.
