Last week, The Water Council staff and the other leaders of our Water + Energy Forward Engine breathed a sigh of relief as we submitted our pre-proposal — the culmination of more than a year and a half of work — to the National Science Foundation. And later that day, we held a meeting to dive into our next steps.
Climate innovation isn’t a choice, it’s a necessity. Increasingly, companies participating in The Water Council’s innovation programs are purposely built for the circular economy, a powerful model for living within planetary boundaries.
This week, the city is welcoming 50,000 delegates, journalists, lobbyists and others for the Republican National Convention. I’m confident the visitors will leave with appreciation for our beautiful city and its freshwater resources.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since The Water Council and our partners were awarded $1 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a regional innovation engine focused on water and energy resiliency for manufacturers and utilities.
The time has flown by as we grow and refine our engine. And it’s about to start moving even faster, as preliminary proposals are due to NSF in August. I’m extremely proud of the work our Leadership Team of engine partners is doing and extremely thankful for all their time and effort to develop our engine. This truly could not be accomplished without them and all our collaborators. Read on to learn more about that and what else we’re up to this month.

Learn about how that relates to our members and more in our monthly newsletter.
