We are passionate about creating a future where water is valued and used sustainably. Our work spans policy, regulation, research, and campaigns, all aimed at driving behaviour change and raising awareness of the importance of water efficiency.
Waterwise helps communities, businesses and governments to understand the value of water and use it wisely so that we have enough now and in the future. Ambition, partnership and innovation are at the heart of our work.
We are already running out of water in the UK – and seeing the impacts of water scarcity on people, the environment and the economy.
