Washington Water Trust

Washington Water Trust (WWT) is dedicated to securing abundant, clean freshwater for Washington’s people, communities, and environment through a collaborative approach. WWT engages all water stakeholders—agricultural producers, conservation districts, tribes, and more—to ensure everyone has a voice and that solutions are broadly supported. WWT is leading the way in sustainable water management through the Recycled Water Project. This innovative initiative repurposes highly treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation, reducing the strain on freshwater sources and enhancing stream flows vital for salmon habitats. By partnering with local farms in the Sammamish Basin, the project demonstrates that recycled water can significantly boost crop yields while supporting a more resilient water future.
