WRA promotes the science-based management of water resources within the Delaware River Basin to protect all water dependent uses and enhance the long-term sustainability and resiliency of the river system.
To achieve this WRA:
• Represents the needs and interests of water users of the Delaware River Basin in multi-stakeholder initiatives and with regulatory agencies
• Advances principles of comprehensive water resources planning based on sound science and policy
• Promotes a balanced approach that recognizes the economic, social, and environmental importance of the Basin’s water resources
How WRA works:
WRA serves as a critical resource to its members - water professionals; water purveyors; and commercial, industrial and maritime river users – as they collaborate with other stakeholders to maintain the Delaware River as a working river and promote principles of sustainability and resiliency. WRA’s efforts have become even more important recognizing the fiscal challenges faced by regulatory agencies in the region, and the acute need to respond to climate change related impacts in a manner that will maintain and expand the multi-dimensional values of the Delaware River watershed.
