Chasing Zero: How Today’s Policies are Shaping the Future of Clean Water

February 4 - 7, 2020

The Clean Water Act has led to tremendous improvements in water quality since it was first conceived of decades ago. But, does today’s Clean Water Act provide the necessary flexibility sufficient to address the challenges presented by diffuse pollution sources and the plethora of emerging contaminants that defy conventional control strategies? NACWA’s 2020 Winter Conference will explore how a new statutory and regulatory framework will need to emerge to deal with 21st century water quality issues and the critical role the public clean water community plays in ensuring the continued protection of human health and the environment.

Winter Conference

February 5-8, 2019
Albuquerque, NM

In passing the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Congress had two different goals and objectives in sight. The CWA was a means to mitigate point source pollution and achieve the goal of “fishable and swimmable” surface waters in the United States. The SDWA aimed to protect public health and provide safe, high quality drinking water from source to tap. Over the last 50 years, programs under each Act have matured differently, but perhaps now more than ever, wastewater and drinking water issues are overlapping in the real world. NACWA’s 2019 Winter Conference takes a deep look into the progress of the CWA, its nexus with the SDWA, and asks whether the palpable intersection between these monumental environmental statutes breeds conflict or collaboration for the water sector.
