Planning for the future is a heroes’ journey. Be a part of the water revolution that addresses critical issues about the world’s most important resource. Water 2050 is an initiative to collaborate and champion a course for a successful and sustainable water community. AWWA brings vast resources for the water community but Water 2050, that’s for the future.

AWWA’s Water 2050 initiative seeks to establish a long-term vision of the future of water. This collaborative exploration will chart a course for a successful and sustainable water sector. We will engage in a thoughtful, intentional and inclusive discourse that results in bold, achievable goals.

Ultimately, Water 2050’s influence will extend beyond the water community, fostering partnerships and cross-sector collaboration for mutual and global benefit.

AWWA has identified five critical drivers that will influence progress toward a sustainable and resilient water future: sustainability, technology, economics, governance and social/demographic.
