SUMMARY:Managing Stormwater in Small Communities
DESCRIPTION:Small communities face unique challenges as they work to protect water quality and mitigate flooding. This webinar will explore the ways that intermunicipal collaborations can enable communities to leverage their resources\, meet regulatory requirements\, and unlock new funding and financing to pursue shared stormwater management goals. Join us to learn about resources and dive into real world examples that explore the process of developing and implementing these partnerships. The presentation will also discuss opportunities to connect existing partnerships with the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and other funding and technical assistance opportunities. \nThis presentation has 3 objectives: \n\nHighlight the value of collaborative stormwater management efforts\, especially for small communities\nShare pathways\, resources\, and examples of how to establish these collaborative efforts\nHighlight funding\, financing and technical assistance available to support stormwater management in small communities\, focusing on the Clean Water State Revolving Fund\n\nPresenters: Jeff Colella\, Stormwater Division Manager\, Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority\, Beth Uhler\, Pennsylvania Director\, Center for Watershed Protection\, and Emerson O’Donnell\, Senior Program Manager\, WaterNow Alliance (moderator\, introductory remarks)

SUMMARY:The Benefits of Internships for Wastewater Systems
DESCRIPTION:The webinar will explore why establishing an internship program can be highly beneficial for utilities. We will share practical ways to fund internships\, where to find potential interns\, and the types of tasks they can support to ease supervisory workloads. We’ll also cover strategies for helping interns transition into full time roles. By the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n• Explain the benefits of establishing an internship program within a utility organization. \n• Identify multiple funding options for supporting internship positions. \n• Locate effective sources for recruiting qualified intern candidates. \n• Describe meaningful tasks interns can perform to support supervisors and enhance operational efficiency. \n• Outline strategies that help interns successfully transition into full-time utility roles. \n• Understand how internship programs contribute to long-term workforce development and build a pipeline of future talent. \nPresenter: Shannon Hazelton\, Program Manager\, The Environmental Finance Center at Wichita State University

SUMMARY:Freshwater Explorer 2.0
DESCRIPTION:EPA’s Freshwater Explorer is an easy-to-use\, interactive web-based mapping tool for exploring freshwater data from streams\, lakes\, and groundwater wells in all 50 U.S. states\, Puerto Rico\, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It can be used by citizens and non-governmental organizations to better understand national and local water quality issues and to provide water quality information to help federal\, state\, territory\, Tribal\, and local partners make decisions about freshwater resources. Users can add spatial layers to explore associations between water quality measurements and natural and human geographical factors and any of the 10\,000+ other available data layers accessible from the GeoPlatform that may affect water quality in the United States. This webinar will show users how to perform geographical searches and visualize background and measured data for water quality parameters.

SUMMARY:Drinking Water Data for the Nation: Version 1.0 Release
DESCRIPTION:All Americans deserve access to safe\, reliable\, and affordable drinking water. But making that access into a national reality means untangling a complex web of interdependent factors—including crucial\, but often fragmented\, water data. \nThat’s why EPIC is launching a new web-based platform: the National Drinking Water Dataset + Explorer Tool (Version 1.0). This effort is part of the Digital Service for the Planet (DSP) initiative. \nThis innovative tool harmonizes data across sources and scales—integrating 30 state and national datasets with 100+ variables— allowing policymakers\, technical assistance providers and funders\, advocates\, researchers\, utilities\, and communities to access and use vital drinking water data to improve environmental and public health outcomes. \n🚀 What: Drinking Water Data for the Nation: Version 1.0 Release Webinar\n📅 When: March 26\, 2026 from 2:00–3:00 PM EDT\n🌐 Where: Virtual \nWhat to Expect:\n🔎 A behind-the-scenes look at how the tool came to be\n💻 A live demo with its developers\n🔭 A preview of what we expect in Version 2.0\n❓ A Q&A with the audience \nWe hope you’ll join us for a rich dialogue exploring how better data integration can support smarter\, more equitable drinking water investments now and in the future.
