After two years of remote work and virtual meetings, some of us are tired of the isolation of the home office and ready to venture back into the “real” world. If you operate a water-related business, if you’d benefit from the close connection to The Water Council’s water technology and stewardship network, or if you’d just like to work in a really cool building right around the corner from Purple Door Ice Cream, consider the Global Water Center for your new work home.

We are just a week away from the launch of our new program, WAVE: Water Stewardship Verified. Get the inside scoop at our introductory webinar at 10 a.m. CST Feb. 2.

The Water Council is off and quickly running in 2022. Learn about our exciting new water stewardship program, a member webinar about export resources and more in our January newsletter.

What a year it has been for the country, the water sector, the sustainability movement and, of course, The Water Council. Despite the many challenges presented in 2021, The Water Council made great strides in building on previous work and charging into new territory. Read more in our December update.

It goes without saying that naval officers are interested in water. But officers from around the world got a brand-new view of water issues and solutions during a visit to the Global Water Center in Milwaukee on Tuesday. The visit was part of the Naval Staff College professional development program at the U.S. Naval War College in Rhode Island.

You don’t have to work at The Water Council to know that water has been front and center this month. Get caught up on our news, including our work with a PFAS remediation company, a new opportunity for non-water tech companies and the opening of one of our innovation programs.

If you’ve been paying attention to The Water Council lately, you’ve probably heard the term “water stewardship” a lot. In fact, it’s a core part of our mission to solve global water challenges by driving freshwater innovation and advancing water stewardship. But what does water stewardship mean, anyway?

Busy times for all of us, but for The Water Council team that has been especially the case the last several weeks! Read about our experience at WEFTEC, new members of our Board of Directors, a new membership program and upcoming innovation programs in our October update.

WEFTEC is a highlight of The Water Council’s year, and though the event looked different in 2021, that fact didn’t change. The Water Council has a strong presence at this year’s event in Chicago, co-sponsoring the Global Center with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation on behalf of the state of Wisconsin.

We are just a few days out from the start of WEFTEC, the global conference for water professionals organized by the Water Environment Federation. We are so excited to meet up with the rest of the water technology sector for the first time in two years to learn and network.
