Be Part Of The Premier Freshwater Hub

Freshwater 247

The Water Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and global hub dedicated to solving critical global water challenges by driving freshwater innovation and advancing water stewardship. We connect, convene and showcase our members around the globe while offering comprehensive leadership in applied water solutions through technology and stewardship.

Founded in 2009, The Water Council grew out of more than a century of water innovation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sitting on the shores of the Great Lakes, the world’s largest surface freshwater system, Milwaukee has earned a reputation as the freshwater technology capital of the U.S. We harness the economic potential of Milwaukee’s water technology hub while addressing the vital task of conserving the world’s precious freshwater.

Our 150 members span the globe and represent every facet of the water industry, from innovative startups to established corporate leaders along with utilities, universities, nonprofits and innovative water users.

The driving force behind our success is the spirit of collaboration between public and private sectors and a shared commitment to finding innovative solutions to critical global water issues.
