Water management is an interdisciplinary field that requires expertise across diverse sectors, including policy, engineering, life sciences, and public health. Often, when we think of water and public health, drinking water quality or wastewater management comes to mind. This presentation will highlight the critical need for why water resources management should be developed with critical attention to the relationship between public health and water. A few specific examples, including recreational water quality, wastewater-based epidemiology, and tap water avoidance, will be discussed to showcase the value of evaluating “water” topics through a public health lens.
