Climate-change adaptation strategies guide for water utilities

The Adaptation Strategies Guide for Water Utilities is now available on EPA’s website. The guide was developed under EPA’s Climate Ready Water Utilities initiative to assist drinking water and wastewater utilities in gaining a better understanding of what climate change-related impacts they may face in their region and what adaptation strategies can be used to prepare their system for those impacts.  The guide contains easy-to-understand climate science and information, utility adaptation case studies, as well as an adaptation planning worksheet.
