Working Groups

Florida Water and Climate Alliance (FloridaWCA)

The Florida Water and Climate Alliance (FloridaWCA is a stakeholder-scientist partnership focused on increasing the relevance of climate science, data and tools for water resource planning and supply operations. A collaborative effort facilitated by the UF Water Institute, partners are working together to understand how climate variability/change and sea level rise may impact planning and operation of Florida’s public water resources and supply, and refining and developing science based tools in seasonal scale and long term projections at a local scale.
