We drive investments in high-impact solutions that deliver the greatest returns—modernizing agriculture, securing water for cities, and introducing climate-smart tools and practices for more sustainable water management.
WATER FOR FOOD
Modernizing agriculture for a climate-smart future
Rice is a staple food for half of the global population, making it a cornerstone of food security and a significant opportunity for innovation in agriculture.
We are helping farmers change the way they farm, which not only boosts their productivity and lowers costs, but also promotes methods that are better for the environment. These include changes in cultivation practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase water-use efficiency.

WATER FOR CITIES
Creating water-secure city-regions
More and more cities are running out of water. By 2050, nearly half of the global urban population will live in cities exposed to water scarcity.
We are leading the creation of Water Secure City Platforms to help regional and national governments respond to water crises when they occur and prevent them from happening in the first place.

Water for planet
Advancing wastewater reuse worldwide
Investments in reuse are among the most cost-effective ways industries, cities, and governments can enhance water security.
Our Scaling Water Reuse initiative increases the reuse of municipal and industrial wastewater, treating it as a valuable resource to reduce pollution and improve sustainability across sectors.
