DRBC Staff Discuss Water Quality, Climate Change at WRADRB Annual Conference

Earlier this month, DRBC staff presented at the Water Resources Association of the Delaware River Basin's (WRADRB) 57th Annual Fall Conference, held at the Rutgers EcoComplex in Bordentown, N.J. Established in 1959, the non-profit, non-partisan WRADRB brings together basin water users from industry, public and private utilities, and other organizations to promote public information and water resource management.

This year's conference, themed The Nature and Nurture of a Working River, was organized into four sessions; each session included several presentations related to that topic. DRBC staff presented as part of the following three:

  1. Water Quality in the Delaware River
  2. What We Think We Know (and Don't Know) about Nutrients, DO, and Fish in the Delaware Estuary
  3. Water Resources Planning and Adaption in the Face of Climate Change

Staff work hard to fulfill the DRBC's mandate of managing and protecting the basin’s water resources. Being able to participate in conferences and educate others about DRBC and what we do are also important parts of that mission.
