Waterwise supports organisations to meet their environmental objectives, reduce risk and ensure business continuity by helping them to use water wisely.
We are already seeing the impacts of water scarcity on people, the environment and the economy, right across the UK. Climate change and population growth are increasing pressure on water resources and we must act now.

Our audience is everyone in the UK! Waterwise helps people, communities, businesses and governments to understand the value of water and use it wisely so that we have enough now and in the future. Our campaigns cover the whole of the UK – year in, year out.
Our network contains more than 100 organisations, including our Water Efficiency Forum and policy, regulatory and industry stakeholders. Together we aim high on water efficiency, so that water is never wasted. Ambition, partnership and innovation are at the heart of our work.
Our membership covers more than 40 Supporters, Affiliates and partners. As a not-for-profit organisation, the funding we receive from our members directly contributes to our work to raise awareness of the issue of water scarcity, to drive behaviour change, and to influence policy around water efficiency.

Waterwise drives innovation by developing and testing new ideas, uniting partners to create change, and demonstrating practical water efficiency solutions. We operate at all levels – from shaping legislation and inspiring sector leaders to supporting delivery teams with research and fresh ideas. Throughout the year, we run impactful campaigns promoting water efficiency across the UK.
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We work with organisations and communities to bring our vision to life: water used wisely every day, everywhere, by everyone. By promoting water-efficient products, services, and innovations, we foster meaningful connections that amplify impact.
