The National Water Resources Association is a nonprofit federation of state organizations whose membership includes rural water districts, municipal water entities, commercial companies and individuals.
As an Association we are concerned with the appropriate management, conservation, and use of water and land resources on a national scope.
NWRA works to balance the needs of people and the environment. We have worked closely with the Congress and the Executive Branch for over 50 years, establishing positive relationships with key resource management agencies and departments.
A Letter from our President
The National Water Resources Association (NWRA) is a non-profit federation of state associations, individuals, and agencies whose mission is to advocate federal policies, legislation and regulations promoting protection, management, development and beneficial use of water resources that represent the interests of its members.
Our top priorities for the 110th Congress include the fair and reasonable implementation of the Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Act and the maximum full funding of water project and program needs on an agency-wide basis.
The Association is the oldest and most active national association concerned with water resources policy and development. Formerly established in 1932, NWRA can trance its origins to the late 1800's. Our strength is a reflection of the tremendous "grassroots" participation generated on virtually every national issue affecting water conservation, management and development. NWRA, through its diverse membership, is uniquely positioned to bring together agriculture, municipal, industrial, environmental, and recreation water interests with a unified voice.
As we move forward into the new millennium, NWRA, with your help, can meet our goals for the 110th Congress, further innovative water conservation and reuse activities and State's water rights.
For more information on NWRA and how you can become involved, please email us at nwra@nwra.org.
We urge you to become involved in the development of efficient and effective water policies and practices for protecting the quality and use of our nation's most precious resource --- WATER.
W.E. West, Jr.
