Rethinking the Water Year: Aligning Supply & Demand in a Changing Water Resources Landscape


Greene Economics is proud to sponsor the 2025 AWRA-WA State Conference, which brings together Washington’s water professionals, policymakers, engineers, scientists, lawyers, students, and regulators to address the state’s most pressing water challenges: balancing competing demands and planning for a changing climate. The conference will explore strategies for aligning supply and demand, evaluating water policy, and preparing regional water systems for climate-driven changes.


The American Water Resources Association (AWRA), established in 1964, a multidisciplinary professional association dedicated to advancing water resources management, research, and education. Its Washington section (AWRA-WA) hosts events like the annual conference to connect experts across sectors and foster collaborative solutions for the state’s water challenges.


Program cover for the AWRA-WA 2025 Annual State Conference

Dillon Honcoop, Communications Director for Save Family Farming and Whatcom Family Farmers, will deliver the opening address with, “The Missing Link: Bridging the Gap Between Water Regulations & Emerging Realities to Build Future-Ready Communities.” Dr. Hannah Hämmerli, Assistant Professor at WSU’s School of the Environment, will close with, “Moving from Tension to Cooperation: Water Governance for a Sustainable Future.” They will share insights on advocacy, governance, and sustainable water management strategies.
