Linking the World to Water

Across the globe, nations are working to build resilient communities, connected societies, strong economies, and effective solutions to shared water resources challenges. Water serves as a unifying force linking people, ecosystems, and economies worldwide in the pursuit of sustainable, long-term water management strategies.

The Federal Support Toolbox will soon expand to include international water resources, featuring tools and models, data systems, programs and initiatives, partnerships and collaborations, and best management practices that support integrated water resources management. Join the global water community and become a partner in advancing shared solutions to water challenges.
