Since 1990, many eastern U.S. states have seen significant threats to water quantity for the first time in recorded history. At the same time, as spatial and temporal distribution of water is changing, demands for water for municipal use, agricultural use and energy production are increasing, further threatening the predictability and availability of the resource. This webinar will analyze recent state regulatory initiatives and court cases in MA, NY, PA and CT and suggest possible ways that state governments might overcome these hurdles. Click here for more information.
