This year, the Pacific Institute continued to turn research into action. Highlights include a first-of-its-kind study on Municipal and Industrial Water Efficiency Potential in the United States, new national assessments and legal frameworks to strengthen equitable, climate-resilient water and sanitation systems for frontline and rural communities across the country, new tools helping companies measure real progress on water stewardship, and the continued growth of the world’s leading database on water-related conflict.

This work is possible because of the partners, donors, and researchers who believe lasting change starts with rigorous science and real partnership.
