Alliance for Water Stewardship

Alliance for Water Stewardship

About

The Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) is a multi-stakeholder organization dedicated to enhancing water stewardship capacity, and guiding, incentivizing and differentiating responsible water use . AWS employs three mutually-reinforcing programs to drive improved water stewardship: a standard and verification system, membership of a multi-stakeholder association, and training. Together, these programs are designed to build capacity and provide a forum through which knowledge on water stewardship can be generated, accessed and shared, helping us to address our shared water challenges. At the heart of all three programs is the stakeholder-endorsed AWS Standard.

Our Vision is that water users and managers are responsible water stewards, who protect and enhance freshwater resources for people and nature.

Our Mission is to promote responsible use of freshwater that is socially and economically beneficial as well as environmentally sustainable

Our network of regional partners make our system accessible to a wide range of stakeholders from industry, agriculture, public sector and civil society. Our innovative partnership-based approach allows global consistency to team up with local expertise, placing AWS at the leading edge of the drive for collective responses that address local water challenges.
