This year we are highlighting flooding and resiliency in a unique panel discussion.

The New York City Watershed is the largest unfiltered water supply in the United States, serving 9 million New Yorkers with about 1.2 billion gallons of clean drinking water each day. It is also home to nearly 1 million inhabitants. This "living watershed" poses unique challenges to scientists, engineers, managers, legislators, residents and stakeholders working and living within it.

Program will be released soon!
