Featured Collection Introduction: “Connecting Land and Water for Healthy Communities”

“…The focus on "Connecting Land and Water for Healthy Communities" in the March/April issue of Water Resource IMPACT, the 2021 specialty conference and resulting "Findings Statement and Call to Action," and this featured collection of JAWRA all contribute to recognizing land-water disconnections and finding integrated solutions for overcoming them.
