Water 100 – Engaging the Business Community to Regenerate Puget Sound
The Water 100 Project. is an initiative of The Nature Conservancy and Puget Sound Partnership. This initiative includes scientists, engineers and policymakers working together to identify the 100 most substantive solutions for a clean and resilient Puget Sound. Together, we are looking to integrate the resources and speed of the private sector to take meaningful action toward a water resilient future.

Water 100 Project Inspires Solutions for Puget Sound
A new initiative is driving to align this incredible pool of talent and ingenuity to tackle one of the most pressing challenges facing our region – how to address the threats of pollution, development and climate change to the body of water that defines this region, Puget Sound itself.
“None of us can solve the challenges of Puget Sound on our own,” says Jessie Israel, our Puget Sound Conservation Director. Through the Water 100 Project, an initiative of The Nature Conservancy and the Puget Sound Partnership, we’re creating a movement that brings together the Puget Sound business, government, NGO and scientific communities to identify, assess, fund, and implement the 100 most substantive solutions for improving our region’s water.

Facing Floods in Washington State
While constructed infrastructure—like dams, levees, seawalls, and breakwaters—will always play an important role, these approaches alone are no longer sufficient for a world where flood and storm events are becoming more frequent, extreme and costly. Plus, when flood control facilities fail – and they do – they fail big, often leading to catastrophic damages. Instead of working against nature, we must look to it as an essential partner in building resiliency for our communities and economies.
Just one acre of wetlands can hold about 1 million gallons of water—more than an Olympic-size swimming pool—reducing impacts on communities during floods. And for every $1 spent on restoring wetlands, more than $7 in direct flood-reduction benefit is achieved.
