Welcome to WWO

The World Water Organization (WWO) is as a not-for-profit international membership association of professionals from governments, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), multi- and transnational corporations, and academic institutions. The organization seeks to address the world’s water challenges and to find workable and affordable solutions that benefit all nations and all peoples. To this end, the WWO promotes technological advancement, facilitates public and private partnerships, provides a forum for world leaders and innovators to discuss solutions, and takes concrete steps to achieve water sustainability across the globe here and now. With participation of professionals from the United Nations and The World Bank to its Executive and Advisory Boards, the organization has the wide support of intergovernmental organizations and the governments of the Member States of the United Nations. The WWO runs international conferences to discuss and promote strategic level change, organizes events to remind the world’s people of the water crisis everyday, and administers projects around the world to make the change on the ground that needs to occur now. The WWO is focused on three aims with regard to water: health, security and the human right of access. These are reflected in its three yearly conferences: (1) Water and Global Health ­ the challenge of the 21st Century; (2) Water Security ­ the protection and Preservation of Water Infrastructure Worldwide and Emergency Disaster Management/Relief; and (3) The International Water Summit. The WWO also builds partnerships with donors and international organizations to create projects in countries across the globe. These projects aim to (1) improve daily access to water, (2) reduce the burden of water collection on communities (particularly women), (3) improve the quality of water being consumed in these communities, and (4) address water related challenges in these communities (such as waterborne diseases). Recognizing that there are close to a billion people worldwide without ready access to water, the WWO’s projects ultimately aim to assist people living in extreme poverty by providing them with the essential human right of water. The WWO also seeks to cooperate and complement the work already being done in this field and welcomes partnerships from governments as well as non-government, non-profit and corporate institutions. The WWO seek to build global partnerships that bring together technology, projects and financing to ensure global water sustainability and universal access.
