As a critical part of our mission, WEF works to elevate clean water, the water profession, clean water services, and the infrastructure that supports it as essential to protecting public health, the environment, and quality of life.

Water's Worth It  Value of Water Campaign


Water's Worth It

Our WATER’S WORTH IT® broad-based public outreach campaign helps with this effort by highlighting the value of clean water, educating the public about important water quality issues, and encouraging a shared responsibility to sustainably manage it. The campaign has been updated and relaunched with modern visuals, an expanded messaging platform, and a new set of high-impact outreach resources, including a national PSA, “Why Water’s Worth It.”
