Georgia Water Wise Council The Georgia Water Wise Council is a section of the Georgia Association of Water Professionals. The focus of the GWWC is on the preservation of Georgia's limited water resources. The Council achieves this goal through educational efforts aimed at school age children, elected officials, and all Georgia citizens. Informational brochures, a speakers bureau, and traveling displays encouraging efficient outdoor water use and the use of and investment in new indoor water saving technology, are a key method the Council uses to reinforce the importance of efficient water use in maintaining Georgia's growing economy while protecting the environment. The GWWC membership is made of utility professionals, water professionals representing multiple industries, Agriculture industry professionals, Green Industry representatives, and environmental organizations. This collaborative effort allows the Georgia Water Wise Council to act as resource for ongoing efforts such as the state-wide water plan technical advisory committee and the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District. The Georgia Water Wise Council recognizes the importance of efficient management of a limited resource and works throughout the state to give Georgia citizens the information and tools they need to preserve water resources.
