EPA's Watershed Academy sponsors free monthly Webcasts for watershed practitioners from around the globe.
On Wednesday, July 16, 2008, Stephanie VonFeck from EPA's State Revolving Fund Branch and Patti Cale-Finnegan from Iowa's Department of Natural Resources will discuss the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, a large, flexible, and largely untapped source of funding for watershed projects. It provides over $5 billion each year for traditional stormwater and wastewater projects, as well as more than $200 million for non-point source projects, such as land conservation, agricultural best management practices, and clean up of contaminated sites. Registration opened July 3rd. Archived audio versions of past webcasts are also available at epa.gov/watershedwebcasts.
From a human capital standpoint, the state of the water and wastewater industry is not good.
