One Water Council

The One Water Council is the nation’s premier cross-sector advisory body for One Water practitioners. This collaborative platform brings together utility leaders, community organizations, researchers, private sector partners, and other water champions to shape the future of sustainable, integrated water management.

How we work

The One Water Council offers dynamic opportunities for practitioners to come together to learn from each other, share best practices, partner on policy development, develop joint advocacy positions, and advance integrated approaches to water resource management. Alliance members may select individuals from their organization to join the One Water Council.
