Earlier this month, DRBC staff presented at the Water Resources Association of the Delaware River Basin's (WRADRB) 58th Fall Technical Symposium, 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 was themed Strategies for a Sustainable Delaware River Basin. The opening session was dedicated to discussing DRBC's 2019 State of the Basin Report, which was published in July. Staff provided an overview of the State of the Basin 2019, split into five presentations (all pdfs):

• Introduction by DRBC Executive Director Steve Tambini, P.E.
• Watersheds and Water Use by DRBC Manager of Water Resource Planning Chad Pindar, P.E.
• Flow Management and Climate Change by DRBC Manager of Water Resource Operations Amy Shallcross, P.E.
• Water Quality and Living Resources by DRBC Manager of Water Quality Assessment John Yagecic, P.E.
• Our Shared Waters: A Look at the Delaware River Basin by DRBC Director of External Affairs and Communications Peter Eschbach

Staff work hard to fulfill the DRBC's mandate of managing, protecting, and improving 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.
