Water
Why go with the flow when you can curb rising waters and conserve water resources?
Communities: invest in flood planning, drought plans, education, water reuse and recyling. Start a flood task force, plan for extreme weather.
Government and Businesses: create new connections with diverse stakeholders.
Everyone: work together to strengthen river or coastal communities in the face of a climate change. Share water-saving tips for home and garden, too. Every drop of info helps!
