About Us

Midwest Waters Initiative is an idea for dialog, information exchange, and learning focused on the central importance of natural waterways and wetlands to public health and environmental sustainability - borne of a desire to expand public awareness of water conservation concerns and to promote a broad-scale strengthening of how water-connected communities, from farmers and recreational hunters to rural well users and urban water consumers, can become better stewards of this essential resource by looking beyond the banks of Midwest rivers into the upland fields and ephemeral streams and wetlands that feed them.

We are in the very early stages of launching this initiative, and reaching out to partners to inform our mission and help shape our goals and outcomes.
