THIS APPROACH INCLUDES PROCESSING FOOD WASTE, REUSE OF TREATED WATER, AND ENERGY PRODUCTION TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, REDUCE FLOODING IMPACTS, IMPROVE WATER QUALITY AND CREATE GREEN CORRIDORS. THIS PROJECT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RELIEVE OVERBURDENED WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, PRODUCE ENERGY WHERE IT IS NEEDED AND DECREASE WATER LOSSES, POLLUTION AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS TYPICAL OF LARGE CENTRALIZED SEWERS. IT WILL ALSO LESSEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF A COMPLETE SYSTEM FAILURE IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR DISASTER AND HELP DENSE URBAN AREAS ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE. |

ADVOCACY INCLUDES REVIEWING ALL MAJOR PROJECTS IN THE WATERSHED, CHALLENGING PERMITS ADMINISTRATIVELY AND OCCASIONALLY IN COURT, APPEARING BEFORE LOCAL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, PROTECTING PUBLIC TRUST LANDS AND ACCESS TO PARKLANDS, LOBBYING THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE FOR AND AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL AND WATER-RELATED LEGISLATION, AND WORKING WITH MANY PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS ON ISSUES OF NATIONAL, STATE AND REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE SUCH AS CLIMATE CHANGE, SMART GROWTH AND WATER RESOURCE PROTECTION.

IMPROVING POLICIES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE NATURAL WATER ENVIRONMENT ARE CORE COMPONENTS OF CRWA'S WORK.SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT INITIATIVECRWA'S CAMPAIGN FOR SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES, WHICH BEGAN WITH A SERIES OF TEST CASES IN THE IPSWICH RIVER WATERSHED, LED TO THE CREATION OF THE MASSACHUSETTS' SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE (SWMI) AND RESULTED IN THE ADOPTION OF NEW WATER WITHDRAWAL PERMITTING REGULATIONS THAT INCORPORATE BIOLOGICALLY-BASED STREAMFLOW CRITERIA AND REQUIRES THAT WITHDRAWAL IMPACTS BE MINIMIZED AND MITIGATED. BY REQUIRING MITIGATION, OR OFFSETS, THE PERMITTING PROGRAM BRINGS A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WATER, WASTEWATER AND STORM-WATER.
