The Water Institute is an independent, non-profit applied research organization that advances actionable research, technology, and planning to support science-informed decision making. We serve as a thought partner, leveraging our expertise in multiple disciplines and engaging across multiple sectors — government, private industry, academia, and communities. We draw on our roots in the Mississippi River Delta and the Gulf Coast, where water is both a strength and a vulnerability, to tackle challenges wherever they are.
OUR MISSION
to reduce the vulnerability of people, communities, ecosystems, and economies through transformative approaches to interconnected environmental and social challenges.
