State TMDL Program Resource Center

The ELI Water Resources Program works to promote the sustainability, quality, and utility of water resources. Led by Senior Attorneys James McElfish and Bruce Myers, Senior Science & Policy Analyst Jessica Wilkinson, Staff Attorney Kathryn Mengerink, and Science Policy Analyst Rebecca Kihslinger, the Program focuses on four objectives:

• Protect water quality by increasing the effectiveness of laws and management programs that affect water quality;
• Conserve wetlands by applying the best science and policy tools, and by recognizing excellence through the National Wetlands Awards;
• Reform water resource management by improving governance and decisionmaking on water quantity and use; and
• Sustain healthy oceans by improving laws and policies that affect the ocean environment and industrial uses of it.
