New Jersey’s water future and business environment are facing challenges like we have never seen before, from drought to flooding to water contamination. Yet, the stewards of water—farmers, developers, community and business leaders, manufacturers, and more—are forging transformative 'One Water' solutions which tackle these issues holistically. From integrating water stewardship into company strategy; to using green stormwater techniques to mitigate flooding while beautifying neighborhoods; to implementing innovative financing and partnership models, One Water approaches are sustaining the state's economic security and delivering multiple benefits.

To shine a spotlight on companies adopting One Water practices within their operations and in their engagement in the broader communities and watersheds in which they do business, five statewide organizations have come together to sponsor the New Jersey One Water Awards.
