Join the AWE Network

The Alliance for Water Efficiency is the only non-profit organization dedicated solely to the sustainable and efficient use of water in North America. We are the leading voice for water efficiency, and we believe that water efficiency helps protect scarce resources for future generations, while also creating stronger, more resilient communities, businesses and ecosystems.

AWE’s strength comes from bringing together ALL stakeholders committed to this belief, including municipalities, water utilities, resource planning agencies, non-profit organizations, academic representatives, business and industry leaders, product manufacturers, irrigation consultants, distributors, and individual citizens. They may come from different countries, regions and industries, but they all share a common goal of achieving a sustainable water future and are leading the way. Our strength lies in our collaboration. AWE members don’t just support AWE’s goals; they partner with us to achieve them.

We're carving a path to a water-efficient and water-secure world, and we invite you to join this group of leading thinkers, decision-makers and pioneers. Select the category below that best fits your organization to learn more about the benefits.
