WaterRising Institute is a women-led nonprofit that accelerates real-time and sustainable management of water that is secure for people and the planet, through innovation, investment partnerships and water literacy. Our approach is systems-based, global and people-focused, with emphasis on equity, security, collaboration, societal benefits, return-on-investment and the value of water.

We believe through our strong partnerships with academia, organizations (public, private, and philanthropic), and community scientists we can create a network of tools, technologies and people to solve current and emerging threats in the Great Lakes region as well as water sources globally.

Our mission is the development of state-of-the-art solutions to address critical water issues through real-time monitoring data, evidenced based decision making, transparency and behavioral change (systems and individual).
