This session examines specific examples of Blue Cities' efforts around the country, discuss the economics of more sustainable, integrated water management choices and lay out a path for replicating such efforts. Also, we'll develop/introduce a "request for partners" (RFP) that will be the initial outreach tool to broaden a coordinated strategy focused on protecting, restoring and replicating natural hydrology.

Presenters: Bob Zimmerman, Charles River Watershed Association; Bill Stack, Center for Watershed Protection; Tom Liptan, City of Portland; Stacey Berahzer, Environmental Finance Center (NC), Hal Sprague, Center for Neighborhood Technology
