Charles River Watershed Association Testifies at the State House
Earlier this week, Climate Resilience Director Julie Wood and Restoration & Engagement Associate Emilia Dick Fiora del Fabro testified before the state’s Environmental and Natural Resources Committee on behalf of two pieces of climate resilience legislation:
The Flood Regionalization Bill (H.3938, S.658), sponsored by Rep. Amy Mah Sangiolo and Sen. Michael F. Rush, would establish a statewide flood management and mitigation authority to lead flood management and prevention efforts across the state.
The Drought Management Bill (H.1003, S.586), sponsored by Rep. Joan Meschino, Rep. David M. Rogers, and Sen. James B. Eldridge, would establish a statewide drought management task force to require regional water conservation measures during a declared drought for all non-essential outdoor water use.
