OUR VISION
Universal access to safe, reliable, and affordable water and wastewater management nationwide
OUR APPROACH
We all need clean water, but many communities struggle with aging infrastructure, costly rates, poor water quality, and distrust of their water. Our research, including the recent launch of the Human Right to Water Solutions Lab, helps government agencies advance access to safe, reliable, and affordable drinking water, especially in underserved communities.

Do Urban Water Supply Systems Put Out Wildfires?
In collaboration with Faith Kearns and the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute, we published a list of frequently asked questions to provide clear, accurate answers to the most common questions we have heard from the public, media, and policymakers about fire hydrants, firefighting, water infrastructure, and more.
