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.
“The Luskin Center for Innovation is on the cutting edge of advancing Human Right to Water efforts, both locally and nationally. It drives the conversation in partnership with civic and community leaders like myself, providing cutting-edge science to achieve clear policy impacts, from ensuring equity in access to public services to supporting drought resilience. ”
