Natural Resources, and Sustainability (CENRS) and the Interagency
Climate Change Adaptation Task Force and its Water Resources Workgroup.
The interagency team also collaborated with a range of interested
parties including the Advisory Committee on Water Information (ACWI).
This draft report was prepared for public review and comment and is
available on the Internet at http://www.acwi.climate/freshwater/report
