What happens when thousands of small utilities face aging pipes, rising regulations—and a $625 billion funding gap?
Rania Bashar is helping communities bridge that crisis. As Senior Program Manager at Moonshot Missions, she provides step-by-step technical assistance for under-resourced water and wastewater utilities—helping diagnose infrastructure problems, boost operational efficiency, meet complex regulations, and unlock critical funding.
By empowering small systems, Moonshot is protecting public health, restoring environmental quality, and keeping water flowing where it’s needed most.
Rania was a participant in the Transformative Water Leadership Academy of the American Water Works Association and WaterNow Alliance.
This was a conversation at the Reservoir Center in Washington, D.C.
