GO BEYOND TRADITIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT
Water stewardship goes beyond conservation and traditional efficiency-focused water management, offering a more holistic approach to addressing physical, regulatory and reputational water-related risks. It allows organizations to identify and prioritize water risks and opportunities so they can implement meaningful strategies and targets.

The Water Council trains individuals and organizations to better understand water stewardship and how to apply it across an enterprise down to the site level and offers two types of training.
Comprehensive Water Stewardship Training
The ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and The Water Council are proud to announce a collaboration to offer a new, self-paced training course on water stewardship. This partnership leverages the expertise of both organizations to provide accessible and impactful training on responsible water management practices.
Comprehensive Water Stewardship Training is a self-paced, web-based training delivered through ANAB’s online training platform. This introductory course provides an overview of the best practices in the application of water stewardship when applied across an enterprise or at a specific site.
Practical concepts, such as understanding and baselining water use and impacts, assessing risk, building a business case for water actions and adding water aspects to current environmental management systems like ISO 14001 will be detailed along with landscaping current terminology and key water stakeholders.
Quizzes throughout the training aid in measuring comprehension of the topics covered. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the key concepts defining and governing water stewardship and the ability to apply these concepts within participants’ own organizations.
Customized Training and Capacity Building
The Water Council will work with you to design a water stewardship training that is custom tailored to the needs of your organization. We can:
- Tailor training for internal staff responsible for sustainability and water strategy development
