What We Do
The Internet of Water Coalition mobilizes cultural and behavioral change across individuals, agencies, and institutions to modernize water data infrastructure. Through this work, we aim to transform water data and information to enable sustainable, equitable, and resilient water management.
An integrated system of 21st-century information technologies, which includes common standards, formats, and tools designed to make water data easy to find, access, and share online. This system is connected by an organizational network of water data producers, users, and hubs. Water data hubs provide structured sources of standardized water data aggregated by theme or geography.
Our Top Priorities
The Internet of Water Coalition seeks to advance the transformation and modernization of water data infrastructure in the United States by developing affordable, open-source technologies for sharing and integrating water data, and demonstrate, through a national network of partners, the power of those technologies to improve sustainable, equitable, and resilient water outcomes.

Water data community
What is the water data community?
The Water Data Community includes water data producers, users, and decision-makers. Water data producers and users manage water data and create useful information and insights to inform and improve decision-making. Decision-makers leverage information and insights generated by water data users and producers to inform water policy and management. These stakeholders are involved in water resources management at government agencies, water and wastewater utilities, community organizations, policy-making institutions, and research institutions.
