WEF Supports Our Blue World

We All Have a Part to Play in Forging a Sustainable Water Future

As water professionals, we are on a mission to inspire the water community in pursuit of human and environmental well-being—a world where everyone has access to clean water and sanitation, where communities prosper, and where nature thrives. That is why we continue to support the Brave Blue World Foundation, which aims to change how people think about water, challenge commonly held assumptions about our water systems, and paint a vision for an alternative, optimistic water future through compelling and breathtaking documentaries.
