WHAT IS ONE WATER?



One Water is the idea that all water has value. Putting One Water into action means collaborating to manage water resources to meet environmental, social, and economic goals more efficiently than going it alone. The Jordan Lake One Water Coalition (JLOW) is a partnership of local governments, organizations, businesses and individuals who are working together across the million-acre Jordan Lake Watershed to develop alternative approaches to business-as-usual water management. We realize that addressing water quality, water supply, wastewater, and stormwater in separate silos in each of our jurisdictions isn't working. We know that our region is full of smart people who want to pilot innovative water management approaches to the benefit of our rivers and reservoirs. JLOW is already working collaboratively with stakeholders and state regulators to envision integrated water policy options for the Jordan Lake Watershed.
