The Website
The Water Strategist Community is an industry specific website serving the information needs of
water professionals in the fields of water law, policy, municipal finance, water and wastewater investment, environment, water rights brokering, and water agency management.
And although it is a free industry specific site, we consistently get 30,000 hits by unique users per month,
which is an advantage as it is specifically targeting the potential buyers of your service or product, not the general
public. The major sponsor of the WS Community, Water Strategist, a
monthly journal, has been serving the water resources research and analysis needs since
1986, and has had a presence on the web since 1999. The Water Strategist website, available only through paid subscription,
has been a popular alternative for subscribers of the journal, which has
traditionally been sent by mail.
