One Water

One Water is an intentionally integrated approach to water that promotes the management of all water—drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, greywater—as a single resource. The Meadows Center leads research initiatives for implementing integrated, one water management approaches that can help communities achieve long-term resiliency and reliability, for the benefit of both the environment and the economy.
