Integrated Water Resources Project Update

The Integrated Water Resources Project (IWRP) update, presented to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, highlights the critical need for sustainable water management in Central Florida. With increasing growth pressures on limited water resources, the IWRP emphasizes the importance of responsible water use and the development of alternative water supplies. Key areas of focus include surface and reclaimed water, stormwater management, aquifer recharge, and conservation efforts. Upcoming projects aim to enhance the region's water supply resilience and ensure environmental protection.
