Many of these are exclusive to AWS members. You can attend the events in real time or access the recordings at your leisure via the Tools Hub.

Get access to helpful water stewardship tools and resources

Anyone can access the Tools Hub by simply heading to tools.a4ws.org and creating an account.

As an AWS Member, you can use your unique member coupon code for free, unlimited access. If you don’t know your coupon code, you can find this out from your lead AWS representative, or by contacting us.

If you’re not yet a member, these resources are also available to purchase ‘à la carte’ via the Tools Hub Products tab on an individual user, per product basis, however it may be more cost-effective for you to consider joining as an AWS member should more that one individual from your organisation wish to join.

Ready to find out more?

The ultimate strength of the AWS System lies in the diversity of experience that members bring to it, combined with the sharing of hard-won, locally acquired knowledge of how stewardship can tackle water-related challenges. It is this shared insight, borne from the multi-stakeholder nature of AWS governance, that gives AWS and its members a strong, credible voice on water use and stewardship.
