In January 2011, the National Drinking Water Advisory Council released its final version of its Climate Ready Water Utilities report, which contains 11 recommendations that will assist drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater systems across the nation to increase their resilience to climate change impacts. The report's findings and recommendations cover three topics: identify the behaviors that will characterize a climate ready utility; identify climate change-related tools, training, and products needed to enable climate ready utility behaviors; and explore ways to encourage broad adoption through recognition or incentives incorporated into existing EPA Office of Water recognition and awards programs or new recognition programs.
