The webinar will provide a brief overview of OneWater and integrated planning, and will include case studies on integrated planning.

The gap in municipal water infrastructure needs and available funding remains significant across wastewater, stormwater, and drinking water. It can be difficult for utilities to prioritize capital improvements because of the long-standing silos that exist at the local, state, and federal levels due to implementation of the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.  Integrated planning assists all three utilities in establishing a shared vision, prioritizing environmental mandates, and adaptively managing assets to provide the greatest environmental and public health benefits.
