The Water Crisis is a health crisis. 4 billion people – almost two thirds of the world’s population lack access to clean water. Nearly 1 million people die each year from water, sanitation and hygiene-related diseases which could be reduced with access to safe water or sanitation. Every 2 minutes a child dies from water-related disease.
Water Heroes is managed by Xylem, a global water technology company committed to “solving water” by creating innovative and smart technologies to meet the world’s water challenges.
Xylem’s social responsibility program Xylem Watermark, provides humanitarian aid to communities facing the most dire water-related challenges and natural disasters.
As part of our mission to solve water, we’re bringing together stakeholders from across society – including utilities, non-profits and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), schools and universities, businesses, government, sports teams and their fans, students and the public. By coming together, we can create a movement to solve water – one of the biggest sustainability challenges of our time. Solving water is a team sport. Join us!
In 2018, Xylem kicked off an exciting partnership with Manchester City, Manchester City Women and New York City FC. The partnership with City Football Group enables amplified awareness of Xylem’s mission to solve water and help drive a global conversation.
Football fans are passionate and dedicated to their favourite sport – the same qualities needed to take on a huge challenge like solving water. We aim to inspire everyone to think differently about water and take action to help create a more water-secure and sustainable word. To date, Xylem and ManCity have reached more than 1 billion people through award-winning campaigns that inform about water challenges and provide opportunities to get involved.

The “Water Heroes” Hub is an online resource dedicated to informing people about growing global water threats, and what we can do about it – individually and together – to help solve water. The site includes educational content and prize draws to encourage users to learn more about urgent water issues like drought, flooding, water pollution, the rising cost of water, and the need to attract talent to the water sector.
Users can sign up for a free account to earn “Waterdrops” points for completing actions like reading content, watching videos and taking part in quizzes to enter prize draws. We’re bringing people together in creating a movement to solve water to create a more sustainable world. Join the Water Heroes movement!
Solving global water challenges like drought, flooding and pollution is a massive undertaking. It takes a team effort to solve problems this size. The good news is that since everyone relies on water and uses it every day, everyone can play a part. By taking simple actions like fixing leaks and taking shorter showers, you can help save water (and save money).
If we all make small changes in how we use and protect water in our daily lives, it can add up to make a big difference. When these individual efforts are combined with positive actions from government and business, we can solve water at scale and help create a more sustainable future.
It’s easy and free to get started – simply create an account and start surfing. With every article you read, video you watch or suggested action you take to solve water you can earn “Waterdrops” points. These “Waterdrops” can be redeemed for entries to Water Heroes prize draws.
