Special Briefing: America's $900 Billion Water Crisis

Moderated by William Glasgall, Volcker Alliance senior director, public finance and Penn IUR fellow, and Susan Wachter, co-director of Penn IUR, this Special Briefing on April 25, 2024 is the fifty-first in a series of sixty-minute online conversations featuring experts from the national research networks of the Volcker Alliance and Penn IUR, along with other leading academics, economists, and federal, state, and local leaders.

The discussion centered on the importance of robust infrastructure for sustainable water management, the need for federal support and innovation in financing and updating water projects, the challenges posed by aging infrastructure, and the integration of new technologies to address issues such as water scarcity, pollution, and the impact climate change continues to have on water resources.
