The Changing Landscape of Clean Water Policy and Funding

The landscape of clean water funding and environmental policy is shifting—and staying informed is more important than ever. That’s why the H2O Water Network invites you to a virtual discussion on Thursday, May 29, 2025, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. This dynamic, expert-led webinar is your opportunity to understand how evolving federal funding and regulatory changes could impact your local water, stormwater, and watershed efforts.

Whether you’re part of a watershed group, a municipal planner, or a curious community advocate, this participatory session will help you navigate what’s new, what’s still in flux, and what actions you can take to adapt, respond, and thrive in this new regulatory era.

We’re thrilled to welcome a strong panel of guest speakers who bring deep insight into policy, law, and on-the-ground implementation:

  • Ellen Kohler, The Water Center at Penn

  • Emma Bast and Patrick McDonnell, PennFuture

    And facilitating the discussion will be:

  • Jonathan Burgess, University of Pittsburgh Water Collaboratory

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Assessing Changing Funding Sources

  • Adapting to Regulatory Shifts

  • Staying Engaged and Up to Date

This is more than just a presentation—it’s a conversation. You’ll be able to ask questions, share challenges, and connect with others who are navigating similar issues in their communities.

The clean water movement is fueled by strong networks and timely knowledge. Whether you’re currently managing a stormwater project, applying for federal funding, or trying to keep your community up to speed, this event is tailored to meet you where you are.
