American Water Works Association Water Infrastructure Conference
September 11-14, 2022 | Portland, Oregon
We all know climate impacts present significant risks to infrastructure across the U.S. and many of our older built systems have not been designed to withstand the increasing effects of a changing climate, such as higher average temperatures, severe storms, floods and wildfires. But do we fully understand the growing need for more sustainable, climate-ready infrastructure with resilience embedded in its planning, design, construction, operations and maintenance? WSP looks forward to discussing cost-effective strategies to manage aging infrastructure, control water loss, protect critical infrastructure, and finance capital projects.
