It doesn’t have to be wet to be water tech. We define water technology as advanced solutions and water innovation that address critical challenges in water quality and quantity. We support a diverse range of user segments, including corporations, municipalities, utilities, industrial users and individual consumers. Our members are at the forefront of solving global freshwater management issues.

We focus on high-impact areas such as stormwater management, drinking water treatment, wastewater management, water scarcity mitigation, flood resilience, water pollution control, and hydropower generation. (Our primary focus is on freshwater solutions and we generally exclude large-scale seawater desalination technologies.)

Here are some examples of water tech categories:

Digital Water Solutions & AI

Water software-as-a-service (SaaS) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools that utilize real-time data analytics, automate operational decisions, and optimize water system performance for utilities and industry.

Advanced Water Sensors & AIoT

AI devices (AIoT) and real-time water quality sensors that provide continuous measurement of water flow, conditions and contaminants to support predictive water analytics.

Water Reuse & Circularity

Technologies enabling industrial water reclamation, wastewater recycling, and resource recovery (e.g., nutrients, energy) to advance the circular water economy and minimize waste.

Water-Energy Nexus Technologies

Energy-efficient water treatment processes, pumping optimization, and hydro-kinetic/hydro-power solutions that reduce energy demands or generate renewable energy from water.

Membrane Filtration & Separation

Advanced membrane systems (e.g., reverse osmosis (RO), ultrafiltration (UF)) and specialized filtration materials for the selective, physical removal of contaminants from water.

Potable Drinking Water Technologies

Solutions designed for treatment, purification and distribution of safe potable water to meet regulatory standards for human consumption.

Industrial Water Management

Specialized tools, systems and chemical treatments that manage, conserve and optimize water use in manufacturing and other high-demand industrial processes.

Pipes, Distribution & Infrastructure

Technologies for reliable water conveyance, including smart piping networks, leak detection systems and infrastructure monitoring from treatment facilities to end users.

Water Fixtures & Conservation

End-use devices (e.g., faucets, toilets, showerheads) designed to control water flow in commercial and residential buildings.

Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) Removal

Cutting-edge detection and treatment technologies focused on eliminating newly recognized pollutants like PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), pharmaceuticals, and microplastics.

Green Infrastructure & Stormwater Solutions

Nature-based solutions and integrated design (e.g., bioswales, permeable pavements, green roofs) used for stormwater management, flood control, and urban water quality improvement.
