The 2019 National Water Policy Fly-In — April 3 and 4 — was a great success. More than 300 water professionals participated in the highest levels of policy advocacy before the U.S. Congress and Trump Administration.
During the Fly-in, which was held in coordination with Water Week 2019, participants interacted with top officials in the Trump Administration and key members of Congress during organized panels and roundtables on research, reuse, integrated planning, stormwater, WIFIA, and more.
U.S. EPA Assistant Administrator for the Office of Water David Ross helped kick off the event. Congressional staff from the several important committees also spoke about various important pieces of legislation, including the importance of a new infrastructure bill, WRDA reauthorization, the Clean Water Act, and the growing concern about PFAS.
