What is the Wave of Action?
The Wave of Action is a week-long coordinated event leading up to World Water Day on March 22nd, with in-person and virtual volunteer opportunities centered around our three pillars: Protecting Water Resources, Resilient WASH Access, and Education & Capacity Building. Whether you're a Xylem employee, customer, supplier, business partner, or just a passionate community member – we invite you to join us!
Since 2019, through Xylem Watermark, our colleagues and partners have generated this collective impact.
