WaterNow, One Water Econ, and The Water Center at Penn recently launched the Colorado Wildfire Resilience Financing Dashboard. This free resource helps water managers make the business case and find long-term funding for nature-based watershed health and wildfire resilience strategies. The dashboard’s core resource is the interactive decision tool that gives users a customized feasibility assessment of:
-
Possible ways to finance utility-specific resilience projects,
-
Multiple benefits associated with those projects,
-
legal and accounting pathways that can enable the utility to finance upstream watershed health interventions, and
-
Whether partnerships are in place to help ensure success.
Check out the dashboard! Questions or feedback? Reach out to WaterNow’s Policy Director Caroline Koch at cak@waternow.org.
