Join Water For People for a Session
Closing the U.S. Water and Sanitation Gap for Underserved Communities and Indigenous People
Tuesday, Sept 29 | 8:30 - 10 a.m. | Room 238
This session focuses on the communities in the U.S. that lack access to water and sanitation, as well as the new National Roadmap to Close the U.S. Water Gap.
Attendees will be able to examine the issues and solutions with invited guests from Dig Deep, Water For People, Moonshot, and Water Environment Federation. The session will close with breakout sessions where we will explore how we, the water community, can be part of the solution – considering no- or low-effort opportunities and the role of WEF.
Water For People CEO Mark Duey will participate in the session.
