climate change and charts key strategic actions to be taken to achieve 
the goals in 2012 and subsequent years. The Strategy will be a roadmap 
to inform the National Water Program planning process. The Strategy 
also includes goals and strategic actions for EPA in ten geographic

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Climate change alters the hydrological 
background in which EPA's water programs function. Climate change poses 
challenges to various aspects of water resource management, including 
how to: address risks to drinking water, wastewater and storm water 
infrastructure; protect the quality of surface water, ground water and 
drinking water; build resilience of watersheds, wetlands, and coastal 
and ocean waters; and work with tribal communities to understand the 
implications of climate change to their economy and culture. To remain 
effective and continue to fulfill its mission, the National Water 
Program will need to adapt to already observed and projected climatic 
changes. To that end, EPA will continue to collaborate with partners at 
the federal, state, tribal, and local levels to develop the requisite 
information, tools and strategies.
