Water Resources Education Network Websites, Never Be Out Of Touch On Water Issues

Our online address may have changed, but our message is the same. You can find all of the information you have come to expect from the PA League of Women Voters Water Resources Education Network’s new website.
The WREN websites are prime sources of information for project leaders, water suppliers, educators, municipal officials or anyone working in the water protection field who is looking for up-to-the-minute information on water-related sources and resources.
The main WREN website features in-depth information about WREN-funded projects, including project ideas and grant products that can be re-used; information about WREN grants; publications, including archived issues of Water Policy News and links to helpful websites and videos.  We are working to improve the site.
WREN also operates a website dedicated to source water protection. Our goal is simple: to offer practical, step-by-step solutions for protecting the rivers, streams, lakes and aquifers that Pennsylvanians rely on for their public drinking water.
Search this site for the basics on source water protection, information about the Source Water Protection Technical Assistance Program (SWPTAP) - a great resource offered at no out of pocket cost by PADEP, and funding for source water protection. You'll also find wide-ranging Resources including primers, fact sheets, brochures, public outreach tools and much more.
With funding, resources, and networking opportunities, WREN supports community-based efforts across Pennsylvania to build an informed citizenry who will protect local water resources with water friendly public policies and hands-on work.
Thinking about applying for a WREN grant in 2015? Check out hundreds of project ideas on our website, then begin gathering your partners for our next round of funding. Grant applications and guidelines for the 2015-2016 project year will be posted in January, with applications due in March. Watch upcoming issues of the Water Policy News for details.
