What Is Project WET?

Since 1984, the Project WET Foundation has dedicated itself to the mission of reaching children, parents, teachers and community members of the world with water education. A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Project WET achieves its mission of worldwide water education by:

publishing water resource materials in several languages.
providing training workshops on diverse water topics (e.g., watersheds, water quality, water conservation).
organizing community water events, such as Make a Splash with Project WET water festivals and the Global Water Education Village™.
building a worldwide network of educators, water resource professionals and scientists.


Project WET publications, training workshops, global network and community events are grounded in Project WET’s core beliefs.

• Water connects us all: Water moves through living and nonliving systems and binds them together in a complex web of life.
• Water is for all water users: Water of sufficient quality and quantity is vital for all water users (energy producers, farmers and ranchers, fish and wildlife, manufacturers, recreationists, rural and urban dwellers).
• Water must be managed sustainably: Water resources management and education are crucial for providing tomorrow’s children with social and economic stability in a healthy and sustainable environment.
• Water depends on personal responsibility and action: Awareness of and respect for water resources can encourage a personal, lifelong commitment of responsibility and positive community participation.
