The Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF and DWSRF) represent the largest source of federal funding for water infrastructure. The SRFs are intended to support communities across the country by increasing their financial capacity to take on large water infrastructure projects, including addressing flooding concerns.

At this Lunch & Learn webinar on 3/22/23, River Network staff provided an introductory overview of the SRFs to the Flood Resilience Network, including how the dollars flow from the federal level to states and municipalities and opportunities to engage.

Presenters: Sheyda Esnaashari, Drinking Water Program Director, River Network and Erin Kanzig, River Programs Policy and Research Associate, River Network

The Lunch & Learn program included time for Q&A, discussion, and community updates. 

This program is sponsored by the Hudson River Estuary Program, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, with support from the New York State Water Resources Institute at Cornell University.
