The Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) is the professional Association serving state drinking water programs. Formed in 1984 to address a growing need for state administrators to have national representation, ASDWA has become a respected voice for state primacy agents with Congress, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other professional organizations.
Elevating Drinking Water as a National Priority
One of the most important roles ASDWA has is to make sure no one stops thinking about water. Whether that means spending time on the Hill to speak with Congressional staff about drinking water issues, or expanding the reach of our communications to the public by way of social media, ASDWA is constantly working to advance our message of public health protection on behalf of our members. Having safe drinking water is taken for granted by many, so ASDWA continually emphasizes drinking water’s importance for public health and for the economy.

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and EPA have made a change to the National Water Quality Initiative (NWQI) this year (for FY ’19) that includes a new pilot program specifically aimed at protecting drinking water supplies, including groundwater. This is a great new immediate opportunity for state drinking water and source water protection programs to reach out to your NRCS State Conservationists and state Clean Water Act programs to collaborate on proposing SWP areas and specific projects for the pilot that are due by September 14, 2018.
In this webinar, NRCS and EPA staff provide an overview of the NWQI and the new Source Water Readiness Pilot. During the webinar, they will share program objectives, the process for watershed selection, and information about financial assistance, deadlines/important dates and the vision for states and other partner collaboration.
FOR MORE INFORMATION: Please view the “Dispatch” document and read the May NRCS NWQI Bulletin.
HELPFUL RESOURCES: Following are some resources that can help you with this collaboration, particularly if you are not already working with your State Conservationist.
