There has been noted interest in recent years from several states in formalizing a connection between land use and water planning.

This webinar will share recent research into state laws for integrated land use and water management planning: the connection points between land use and water management, the range of legal contexts nationwide, how law impacts local action, and how stand-out communities are integrating land and water management, either according to their state’s standards or above and beyond them.

Speakers:

Erin Rugland , Babbitt Center for Land and Water Policy, “Tools for Connecting Land Use and Water”; Sagar Shah , American Planning Association,  “Water Elements in Comprehensive Land Use Planning”; Mary Ann Dickinson , Alliance for Water Efficiency, “Water Utility Planning: Opportunities for Land Use Integration”; Bill Cesanek , Co-Chair, APA Water and Planning Network.
