Grant

• Synthesize a clearly articulated document outlining the current and emerging challenges for Source Water Protection (SWP) programs(including both surface water and interconnected groundwater) under extreme events(e.g., flooding, drought, wildfire, heat wave) and in a changing climate.
• Develop a utility-facing practical guidance document with case studies, including adaptation strategies and lessons learned for existing SWPs to become more resilient, and tailored engagement strategies for stakeholders in source water watersheds and aquifers.
• Conduct a screening-level cost-benefit analysis for identified adaptation strategies based on three real-world SWP programs.
