ARCSA International has joined the Reservoir Center for Water Solutions as an official partner, furthering its mission to promote sustainable water practices and expand collaboration within the global water community.
The Reservoir Center, based in Washington, D.C., brings together a diverse network of organizations—ranging from trade associations and policy leaders to academic institutions, non-profits, and private sector innovators—to address critical challenges in water quality and access.
Through this partnership, ARCSA will contribute its expertise in rainwater and stormwater harvesting and share insights from its ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI Standards 63 and 78. The collaboration also provides opportunities for ARCSA to engage with other leaders in the water sector and foster dialogue around innovative solutions to water challenges worldwide.
