World Water Awareness Starts With You

Resources on Water Conservation Codes and Standards

Here you’ll find the resources to educate yourself and decision makers on the water crisis and how codes and standards are crucial for sustainable water management.

The Code Council's "World Water Awareness" campaign includes new research and information that will aid in the rapid implementation of codes and standards, and help guide decision-makers in managing finite resources, both in the U.S. and globally.

Specifically, the International Water Conservation Code Provisions® (IWCCP®) offers a comprehensive framework to address today’s pressing water conservation challenges. The Code Council calls on lawmakers around the world to rapidly adopt the IWCCP due to the urgent need for responsible water use.
