A Clarke Prize Workshop

La Kretz Innovation Campus • 525 S. Hewitt St. • Los Angeles​​

​

Exploring the role of water
at the intersection of fire, land, and community resilience

​Water is no longer just an environmental issue. It is a frontline solution to the defining
challenges of our time - climate instability, megafires, land degradation, and public health. The 2026 Clarke Prize workshops bring together scientists and water community leaders to examine water’s important role in resilience—from wildfire mitigation to groundwater restoration.

​

Clarke Prize Workshops represent the evolution of a more meaningful prize that engages the broader water resources community.​ Join us for this timely and relevant workshop with top water industry experts.​

The Clarke Prize is recognized by the International Congress of Distinguished Awards as one of the most prestigious water awards in the world. NWRI looks forward to continuing that legacy.
