One Water
Five ways to impact water planning
The 'one water' approach looks at water supply, water quality, and stormwater as a single resource for planners to manage, sweeping away the old silos of planning for water. The Planners and Water PAS Report explores the ripple effects of local needs and global water trends, including financial implications. Five strategic points of intervention illustrate where planners can make an impact. |

Learn if your community is better suited for a top-down or bottom-up approach. See examples of collaboration in action from Aiken, South Carolina; Santa Ana, California; Seattle; Pittsburgh; and Tuscon. |
