Maximizing Water Resources through Integrating a Multi-benefit Approach into Land Use Planning

Integrating a multi-benefit approach into land use planning helps communities make the most of their natural resources and identify fit for purpose solutions to their local challenges. When considering water infrastructure investments, incorporating a multi-benefit approach makes the most of every dollar invested and stretches each drop of water to gain the greatest benefit from a finite resource.

Panelists will share with attendees how and why they prioritize water projects that incorporate a multi-benefit approach in land use planning. From state-level funding to the economics of project valuations, to working with planners to design and implement environments that are equitable and resilient, this webinar will demonstrate how to integrate and scale a multi-benefit approach for the greatest community benefits.
