Welcome to the Georgia Water Wise Council website.
We have developed this site as a resource for you to find whatever you may be seeking related to water conservation.
- If you are a citizen, business, or landscape professional looking for ways to be more water efficient, we hope you will find some helpful information here, or perhaps we can point you in the right direction.
- If you are a teacher, looking for educational materials, or a speaker for a public event, we can help provide you with great information.
The Georgia Water Wise Council is dedicated to the education and dissemination of water conservation and water quality information. If you are interested in joining or learning more about us, you can do that as well on this website. I welcome your feedback and hope you continue to save water!
