WEF advocacy activities aim to educate WEF members and the water sector on public policy issues related to water quality and water resources, and equip them to play a greater role in water policy discussions.
WEF engages in appropriate and nimble advocacy on legislative and regulatory issues to improve the scientific and technical foundation for water quality laws and regulations, support the need for continued progress in controlling pollution, protect public health and the health of aquatic ecosystems, and promote sustainable management of water resources.
WEF works closely with its membership to educate Congress on clean water issues impacting their districts and states and disseminates information on Congressional activities to WEF members via meetings, webcasts, and emails. WEF also collaborates with other organizations to provide support or comment on pending legislation affecting the clean water community.
