Why we exist

Onewater is a social enterprise committed to building a water-wise world. We break down knowledge barriers and promote global collaboration on water, sanitation and environment-related issues. The mission: encourage water-positive policies and decision-making that align with nature, local communities, and the economy.

We drive change through inspiring stories that transform perceptions about Earth's most vital element. We stand at the intersection of content creation, design, research, data, onsite support and training. Our services are designed to bridge the gaps between knowledge and action.

Whether we’re at our desks engaging in writing, drawing, coding, or researching, or out in the field at conferences and projects sites lending a few hands and cameras, we are dedicated to producing interactive, multilingual, and science-based content across all imaginable formats. Since this is more than just a job but a social passion project, we proudly offer professional copy-editing and translation services at no cost, so that everyone can get their story out to everyone.

Our origins

Onewater, initially called Water Science Policy, was founded by a graduate cohort of the University of Oxford’s School of Geography and the Environment in 2020. It is a lockdown baby conceived by former students who wanted to create an engaging and accessible platform for water-related content to bridge the many science-policy gaps. The initial WordPress blog featured contributions from students, professors, artists, and development professionals. As of 2021, Onewater is registered as a social enterprise in Germany.

We changed our name to emphasise the fact that previously distant sectors must work together, countries must collaborate, and science and policy must unite. ‘Onewater’ also embodies the unity of all people and forms of water along with its interconnections with every part of life, particularly health, energy, food, a thriving environment, and peace and security.
