world water hub

The Water Council grew out of more than a century of water innovation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. 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. From our headquarters at the Global Water Center, The Water Council harnesses the economic potential of Milwaukee’s water technology hub while addressing the vital task of conserving the world’s precious freshwater.

Over the years, our network has grown beyond Milwaukee to cover the U.S. and the world. Our 150 members represent every facet of the water industry, from innovative startups to established corporate leaders, along with companies outside the water sector that support our innovation and stewardship mission. We have more than 30 international partners around the globe.

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.
