The waterloop audience includes professionals who work in water and its connected sectors—utilities, government agencies, engineering firms, technology companies, universities, industry associations, and environmental organizations. The content helps this community become more informed, effective, and inspired leaders driving change in their fields and communities.
waterloop covers a wide range of topics including water reuse, climate adaptation, coastal resilience, infrastructure, drinking water, environmental justice, nature-based solutions, and community engagement. Every story emphasizes progress and possibility through a solutions journalism approach.
Beyond featuring established leaders and experts, waterloop provides a platform for emerging voices and diverse perspectives that have historically been underrepresented in the water sector.
waterloop is supported by funders, sponsors, and partners who share a commitment to advancing water solutions. While these collaborations enable storytelling on critical water issues, waterloop maintains full editorial independence in selecting, producing, and distributing content.
