“State and local water resource agencies face increasingly complex issues as they collectively manage the nation’s water systems. NAFSMA plays a vital role in fostering dialog amongst member agencies, identifying common priority issues and advocating for federal policies and legislation that improve its member agencies ability to address the needs of the communities they serve.”
