Infrastructure to collect, treat and distribute drinking water, wastewater and stormwater is critical to maintaining public health, economic vitality, and healthy well-being. Despite the availability of adequate water and the associated infrastructure, states like New York face numerous challenges, which are symptomatic of broader challenges faced nationally. Funding for water-related projects has declined, while the needs have gone up. Newer regulations, extreme weather events, and changing demography will continue to shape the management, planning, and policy related to sustainable water infrastructure.
