Goal action plan
Our focus is to protect the ecosystems, watersheds and water resources that sustain communities, including their food and livelihoods, in the long term. This includes policies and investments that protect landscapes and water resources at scale, as well as household and community-level behaviors that ensure sustainable use. From monitoring critical boreholes in water scarce contexts, to high altitude wetland protection, to setting up rainwater harvesting systems to installing new water monitoring technologies, we use both time-tested and innovative solutions to conserve water in the face of varied and unpredictable threats.
