The 2026 Water Year brought significant challenges to the Pacific Northwest, including flooding, drought, and wildfires. These events have strained water resources, impacted agricultural yields, and heightened wildfire risks. The upcoming meeting will address these issues and explore strategies to mitigate future impacts, particularly as the region faces the potential influence of a strong El Niño in 2027. Stakeholders will have the opportunity to share insights and learn from sector-specific responses to these challenges.
