Water for Energy: Addressing the Nexus between Electricity Generation and Water Resources

Tuesday, June 11th, 2019

Water and electricity generation are inextricably linked—much of the nation’s power generation is dependent on water to operate while water systems require a stable supply of electricity for treatment and delivery.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF STATE LEGISLATURES & AASHTO CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE IN PROJECT FINANCE
From 2010 to 2011, the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) partnered to produce an unprecedented, 50-state review of transportation governance and finance, based largely on in-depth, original survey research. The project focused on transportation finance and on the roles of, and relationships between, those state government entities that are most active in transportation issues: state legislatures and, under the authority of governors, state departments of transportation (DOTs)…The report provides an overview of state transportation governance and finance as well as detailed profiles and other information for each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Dear Friends,

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.
