The Croton Water System supplies about 10 percent of New York City's daily water supply.
Mission Statement
The Water Utility Climate Alliance (WUCA) is dedicated to providing leadership and collaboration on climate change issues affecting drinking water utilities by improving research, developing adaptation strategies and creating mitigation approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Goals
The objectives of WUCA are to:
- Improve and expand climate change research so water managers can consider the potential implications climatic changes may have on water resource planning;
- Promote and collaborate in the development of adaptation strategies and tools to reduce the impacts of rising temperature and changes in precipitation patterns on our infrastructure and water supplies; and
- Identify and minimize greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the operations of WUCA member agencies.
