SUMMARY:New Braunfels - Protecting Land to Protect Water
DESCRIPTION:Where is the water?  Above ground?  Below ground? And how do we get to it? For the past decades\, smart…and we mean really smart …Texans have been scientifically reviewing and planning how we maintain good groundwater now and tomorrow. Texas Water Trade personnel say: “We aim to build a future of clean\, flowing water for all Texans”. \nOne such person is Sharlene Leurig\, who is a water planning expert and the CEO of Texas Water Trade. As Sharlene has stated: “I think most people who we talk to are seeing\, with the ongoing drought and the population boom here in Texas\, that there is a need to shore up our water supply.” \nThe water supply is maximized when we collect as much as we can and then make the best use – and reuse – of it. The best way to recharge the aquifers is to keep the land above the recharge zone as open as possible. Stewardship of this land helps provide not only water but also clean air and open spaces\, and supports local economies. Ms. Leurig will focus on the important connection between land\, aquifers and our water supply. \nClick here to learn more and join the Comal County Conservation Alliance for this event. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar - Ensuring One Water Works for All: Opportunities for Realizing Water Reuse in Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:Join AWE and the Water and Planning Network for an informative webinar on the new report published by the National Wildlife Federation on Ensuring One Water Works for All: Opportunities for Realizing Water Reuse in Affordable Housing. This report concludes that strategic integration of onsite water reuse can provide lasting financial and quality-of-life benefits to affordable housing residents and owners\, and that inclusion of onsite reuse can also help spread a degree of climate resilience to urban populations that are often passed-over in commercial water reuse and green infrastructure initiatives. \nThe report acknowledges and describes the dual challenge of providing affordable housing and resilient water supply. It outlines the benefits of onsite reuse\, the barriers and opportunities for expanding (onsite non–potable) water reuse\, and includes specific recommendations for cities\, utilities\, and developers\, as well as a wealth of case studies of existing affordable housing projects that have successfully integrated onsite water reuse. \nInclusion of onsite reuse into affordable housing developments represents an ideal opportunity to put One Water’s equity principles into immediate\, productive practice. \nClick here to learn more and register!
