The Water Stories Mission
Bringing Back Water
Water Stories is a learning, training, and action platform focused entirely on Water Cycle Restoration.
Water Stories offers a community-centered approach to solving our most pressing environmental crises. Drought, flood, fire, polluted water - no matter what issue you face, we have solutions that deliver meaningful results after the first rainy season.
We empower people to create healthy landscapes and water abundance by transforming watersheds into water-catchments. People around the world are learning how to quickly create real substantive change for the health of their landscapes and communities by working with water.
The World's Best
Stories of Positive Change
Who do we look to for guidance when rivers go dry, when floods breach our streets, and when people flee their homes due to wildfire? We find that telling true stories is the greatest way to provide inspiration and hope for a world in crisis, so we’ve created films that tell the stories of some of the world’s greatest water heroes.
Our award-winning films tell stories of people who have raised their communities out of extreme environmental crises, and show how Water Cycle Restoration works in an easy to understand way.
All of our films are available for free on our online community.

A World of Possibilities
Connection. Inspiration. Action.
To create the change that is needed to restore a healthy planet and viable future for humanity, we need community action.
