The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Creating Resilient Water Utilities (CRWU) initiative is providing a series of free webinars for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater (water sector) utility owners and operators, as well as other water sector stakeholders. These webinars focus on building resilience to the impacts of climate change, as well as the identification and implementation of adaptation options, and utility infrastructure financing. This CREAT Training webinar series (4 sessions) complements the Introductory Session Webinar (held June 22, 2022) and focuses on the mid-Atlantic region of the nation and is being conducted in coordination with the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies, National Association of Clean Water Agencies, National Association of Water Companies and National Rural Water Association.
