Thank you for attending our ninth annual Water for All Summit! We were thrilled to welcome over 170 water industry professionals and advocates from across the region to discuss the advancing the Integrated Water Resources Plan and collaborating for a more sustainable and resilient Catawba-Wateree River Basin.
