What is One Water?
The One Water approach is an international movement being adopted and implemented by cities, utilities, urban planners, engineers, politicians and more. Instead of compartmentalizing water into its various sectors – such as drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, recreational water, and so forth – and making decisions in isolation from each other, this vision mandates that we see it is all “one water” and work more collectively as a group when we address water issues.
