What is Water21?
A not for profit organisation, which works with land owners and communities by developing environmental projects that protect against critical flood, drought, and public health risks in the community, while providing water resource management that leads to abundance.

Landowners profit from improved water resource use on their property for wider catchment benefit; here a created lake provides flood & drought control along with fishing & biodiversity benefits at a hydropower mill site.
Water21 achieves this by researching, promoting, consulting on, and facilitating the supply of best technology with unique expertise backed up by over 20 years of professional land owner, water engineering, community and regulatory engagement within the Agenda 21 process on a range of issues including:
