U.S. Water Alliance Announces 2014 Water Prize Winners

In the midst of California’s worst drought in more than a century, Ben Grumbles, president of the U.S. Water Alliance, announced the recipients of the 2014 U.S. Water Prize last month while speaking to the California Irrigation Institute conference attendees in Sacramento.

The four winners are: Alliance for Water Efficiency, Chicago, Ill.; American Water, Voorhees, N.J.; Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati, Ohio; and Orange County Water District and Sanitation District (Calif.). “America’s future looks bright blue with these shining water stars,” said Grumbles. “Our 2014 winners are leading the way by reducing water waste, reusing water resources, and rethinking watershed strategies and technologies.”
