On Jan. 11, 2022 from 2-3 p.m. EST, the National 303(d)/TMDL Webinar Series will host a webinar on using precipitation metrics in water quality planning activities such as TMDLs.
Climate change is shifting precipitation patterns worldwide, with major impacts on water quality and efforts to restore impaired waters. As the pace of change accelerates, it will become increasingly important to consider projections of future precipitation in water quality protection and restoration efforts.
The webinar will feature Michelle Miro, PhD, Water Resources Engineer at the RAND Corporation, who will present on incorporating climate projections into Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) Curves. Miro will demonstrate using future projected IDF curves developed for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed as a case study to illustrate how to use climate projections and think about future climate scenarios and uncertainty for planning and design.
Register for the webinar, which is free and open to the public. A webinar recording will be available online for those who cannot join on January 11.

About the National 303(d)/TMDL Webinar Series
Since 2016, NEIWPCC, through a grant from the EPA, has hosted a series of informational webinars for state, territorial, and tribal program staff working on pollution budgets in impaired waterways under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act.
Past webinars feature presentations from a diverse array of experts on topics ranging from modeling tools to media relations skills. All previous webinar recordings, presentations, and supporting material are available in our archives. To propose a topic for a future webinar, submit an abstract here.
The NAB Conference brings together water quality professionals and other stakeholders across the Northeast to collaborate on clean water and environmental science challenges across shared regions, ecosystems, and areas of expertise.
This conference is open to all registrants, and attendees will include representatives from public and private sectors in New England and New York State, including participants from state, federal, tribal, and municipal governments; the private sector; academia; and watershed organizations.
Join us for the 32nd Annual Nonpoint Source Conference in Woodstock, Vermont. The Annual NPS Conference is the premier forum in the Northeast for sharing information and improving communication on NPS pollution issues and project. Visit our event web page to stay informed as we continue the planning process for this signature conference.
