Abstract

We conducted a systematic review of publicly available water system plans to identify the extent to which water systems in Washington are currently considering climate change, drought, and extreme weather in system planning and how these efforts might vary by system size and location. We developed a report that synthesized this review and provided recommendations for how small water systems may incorporating climate resilience into their planning.
