Water resources are a critical asset for all cities, play an integral role in a city's development, and are an essential element for a sustainable and resilient city.
Milwaukee's Water Centric City Initiative provides a framework for cities to share best practices, indicators, metrics and guidance for the following: integrated water resource management, water supply and treatment, innovation and technology, water related industry, water education, culture and recreation, and water stewardship.
