Drought Forum to be held in September

NWSA has been invited to participate in the Southwest Drought Virtual Forum to be held on several days, September 21-22 and September 28-29, 2021. The forum is hosted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS).

The forum will assemble stakeholders, decision-makers, and drought experts for a cross cutting dialogue on long-term implications of drought in the Southwestern United States, response and relief efforts across levels of government and sectors, with the goal of supporting communities and building long-term drought resilience in the region.

Despite its focus on the southwestern U.S., the discussions and insights throughout the various sessions can inform water resources managers across the country.
