Water quality is a growing global concern. According to WEF, polluted water and inadequate sanitation kill two children every minute worldwide. Global warming, groundwater depleting, and pollution are concerns for us all. Recycling and reusing the fresh water that we have access to is critical. CWEA offers links to key associations working towards the common goal of water quality.
