Climate change is intensifying drought, flood, and wildfire at unprecedented rates threatening the viability of agriculture, businesses, and communities. The water industry is uniquely positioned to offer innovative solutions to organizations and people in need of daily sustainable water supply. The reality of climate change provides numerous problem-solving and investment opportunities for water industry stakeholders. WAM has spent the last two decades researching, investing in, and delivering creative water solutions.
It is WAM’s objective to engage deeply and responsibly as we plan for the future of local, national, and global water resources. By taking meaningful actions, our work benefits the ecosystems in which we live. WAM collaborates with water stakeholders on all levels to solve water quality and water supply problems. WAM's active participation in Colorado River water conservation programs has resulted in billions of gallons of water retained in Lake Mead during the last 4 years. WAM will continue to provide additional conserved water from these programs to further elevate water levels for years to come. WAM’s public investments provide the necessary financial resources for water companies to innovate, manufacture, and deliver their products and services to communities in need for log-term, clean, and reliable water.
