INTEGRATED WATER MANAGEMENTIn 2023, we advanced integrated water management at multiple scales. We continued to advance integration of co-benefits into water investment decisions, including for water efficiency and reuse and nature-based solutions. We quantified the potential and identified barriers for stormwater capture and water efficiency. We piloted water efficiency solutions targeting multi-family households. We evaluated efficiency programs for a major water supplier and provided recommendations for enhancing their programs. Finally, we collaborated with NGO partners and state agencies to develop robust water-efficiency standards and support protection of the Salton Sea.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.1MWater Access and Sanitation Initiatives
