URBAN WATER @ 10

A partnership of regional organizations began assembling July 20 to launch Urban Water @ 10, an initiative to mark a decade since the release of the Greater New Orleans Urban Water Plan, Urban Water Series and supplemental programs that rethink the region’s water management and catalyze a thriving water economy.

Hosted by the Greater New Orleans Foundation, Greater New Orleans Inc. and the Tulane ByWater Institute, Urban Water @ 10 will convene regional leaders from across private, public, and non-profit sectors over the next five months to celebrate successes, address challenges and harness collective resources for continued momentum. 

Urban Water @ 10 kicked off July 20 with a commencement event.

Programming, including roundtables, workshops, and field trips, will continue through the summer and fall, culminating in a report and celebratory event in November.
