WELCOME TO WHERE WATER WORKS®

Watch the video above to learn more about The Water Council.

The Water Council is a global hub dedicated to solving critical water challenges by driving innovation in freshwater technology and advancing water stewardship.

Built on more than a century of water innovation, we have coalesced one of the most concentrated water technology clusters in the world from our headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.

Recognizing the need for smarter and more sustainable use of water worldwide, The Water Council also promotes water stewardship as a natural complement to water innovation.

The Water Council is the most effective and productive organization I have ever been a part of. You are not just a member once you join; because of the staff, variety and quality of programs, and the other participating organizations, you will quickly become an active player.
-Mike Munnagle, Anguil Environmental Systems
