Water Innovation Network (WIN)
A Community Platform for AdvancingClean Water Solutions
The Global Water Market
The latest estimates put the size of the global water market at over USD 480 billion in 2010*:
Expected to expand to $1 trillion by 2020
USD 175 billion for municipal and industrial water and wastewater capital expenditure.
Services, engineering, operation, maintenance and chemical make up the rest of the market.
* Global Water Intelligence. 2011. Global Water Market 2010.
The Global Water Market
The U.S. market is expected to grow in the coming years, driven by increased levels of investment along the water value chain.
Innovation is key.

Targeted Value Chain
Focus on tackling science, technology and policy challenges with ultimate goal of supporting decision making:
Wastewater treatment and sewer systems
Water supply and demand issues
Flood control and drought management
Watershed management
Respond to the changing land use/climate
Issues at the nexus of land, water and energy
The interplay between socioeconomic and environmental factors (tradeoffs)
WIN Value Proposition
A unique system to collect water data: Cache la Poudre
A collaborative platform to deposit data, knowledge and ideas; sort, summarize, digest, clarify, and compare them across distance and time
WIN Value Proposition
A live laboratory to demonstrate innovative technologies/policies: scalability and value proposition
A venue for clean water companies, and research and education groups to showcase their talent
Training facilities and expertise with a focus on building international relations

Community of Practice
WIN serves as the framework where each of us can deposit knowledge and ideas, and where we can sort, summarize, digest, clarify, and compare them across distance and time.
Community of Practice
Leveraging the knowledge and tools of the community to advance water innovation technologies;
Reduce fragmentation and redundancy;
Multi-disciplinary focus: not just water, air, etc. but integrated systems;
Facilitate linkage of models, tools, frameworks and people
