Women on Water

About Women on Water (WOW):
Women on Water (WOW) is dedicated to building a strong, inclusive community for women in the water sector. Our mission is to empower women through meaningful networking opportunities, collaborative forums, and professional development initiatives. By fostering growth and inspiring leadership, WOW aims to create a supportive environment where women can connect, share experiences, and advance their careers while contributing to the water industry’s progress.

Upcoming Events:
WOW is excited to announce an upcoming event at MI-ACE 2025, where we’ll bring together professionals to share insights, foster connections, and celebrate the role of women in water. For those unable to attend the conference or interested in an additional opportunity to connect, we are planning a virtual event before MI-ACE. Stay tuned for more details, which will be shared on this page and via our LinkedIn profile. If you’d like to get involved or have questions, feel free to contact Haran or Zanna — our emails are listed in the bios below.
