Water is one of our most critical resources, but around the world it is under threat. Worldwater.org is dedicated to providing information and resources to help protect and preserve freshwater around the globe.

A project of the Pacific Institute, this site is a companion to our biennial book, The World's Water and also provides links to a wide range of water resources.

Founded in 1987 and based in Oakland, California the Pacific Institute is an independent, nonpartisan think-tank studying issues at the intersection of development, environment, and security.
