NEWS NOTES ON SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES   EPA Webpage Features State Practices for Climate Adaptation   https://www.epa.gov/climate-change-water-sector/state-water-agency-practices-climate-adaptation   EPA's webpage showcases innovative practices by state water agencies to reduce their vulnerability to climate-related impacts and build resilience. The webpage contains short descriptions of select climate adaptation related practices in diverse programmatic areas and geographic locations around the country. These select state practices can be a resource for other state agencies, as well as local and tribal governments, seeking to engage in climate adaptation efforts within their own water programs. An overall goal is to promote a greater understanding of how state agencies are factoring climate variability into their water program operations, as well as the key climate related concerns they are attempting to manage. Providing greater access to information on recent state agency practices can directly help planners and decision makers across the country continue to conduct their work effectively in the context of a changing climate. EPA intends to identify additional best practices over time to help sustain collaboration and sharing of information across state water agencies.   This link will also be placed on the 2016 Actions and Activities Page of the Sustainable Water Resources Site at https://sites.google.com/site/sustainablewaterresources/">https://sites.google.com/site/sustainablewaterresources/   Tim Smith Sustainable Water Resources Coordinator Government Web Site, http://acwi.gov/ Sustainable Water Resources Site, https://sites.google.com/site/sustainablewaterresources/">https://sites.google.com/site/sustainablewaterresources/
