The United States Water Prize Program honors individuals, institutions, and organizations that have made an outstanding achievement in the advancement of sustainable solutions to our nation's water challenges. Created, sponsored and administered by the Clean Water America Alliance, the United States Water Prize Program is the first of its kind to recognize successful efforts in protecting and improving the health of watersheds in this country.

The Clean Water America Alliance will award up to five United States Water Prizes each year starting in 2011 and believes the award program will encourage and inspire continued innovation in the clean water arena.
