The World Water Council is an international organization aiming to promote better water management worldwide. It gathers together over 300 organizations throughout the world, creating a unique network of hundreds of thousands of people.
Its main goal is to promote and facilitate the efficient conservation, protection, development, management and use of water at all levels on an environmentally sustainable basis. In particular, the Council seeks to mobilise political and financial decision-makers.
By providing a platform for debate and exchange of experiences, the Council seeks to progressively develop a common vision with various stakeholders on the main principles for sound management of the resource and related services.
In addition, the Council seeks to catalyze projects and joint reflection processes that should be taken into account during the preparation of its flagship event, the World Water Forum, organized once every 3 years on a different continent. The next edition of the Forum will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, in March 2009.
