Milwaukee, Wisconsin has earned a global reputation as the freshwater technology capital of the U.S. With 238 water technology businesses in the region, Milwaukee is the ideal location for The Water Council, an organization dedicated to solving critical global water challenges and providing expertise in water stewardship.

Naval officers representing 30 countries recently visited the Global Water Center to learn what private companies, nongovernmental organizations and universities are doing to address worldwide water crises.

The Naval Officers heard from a business that uses sensors to measure water levels to help communities understand flood risks; a septage treatment system project that reduced human exposure to pathogens in fecal sludge and visited the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences to learn about research happening there.

Aquarius Systems, a member of The Water Council was honored to be invited to explain how our machines such as the Aquatic Vegetation Cutters, Trash Skimmers and Amphibious Excavators help clear the surfaces of lakes and river, allowing them to continue using the water for drinking, irrigation, and hydropower.

As naval leaders, they can use what they learned to address water problems in their own countries. Water is the most basic of necessities and sharing local expertise is in the best interest of everyone.

It goes without saying that naval officers are interested in water. But officers from around the world got a brand-new view of water issues and solutions during a visit to the Global Water Center in Milwaukee.

The visit was part of the Naval Staff College professional development program at the U.S. Naval War College in Rhode Island. Naval officers representing 30 countries, including Senegal, Malaysia, Norway, Colombia and Timor-Leste, are taking part, traveling across the country to learn more about American life.

But water, of course, is universal. During the officers’ morning at the Global Water Center – headquarters of The Water Council – they learned what private companies, NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) and universities are doing to address worldwide water crises.

Officers heard from Aquarius Systems, a member of The Water Council that makes surface water management equipment. Jane Dauffenbach explained how machines such as aquatic vegetation cutters, trash skimmers and amphibious excavators help communities all over the world clear the surfaces of lakes and rivers, allowing them to continue using the water for drinking, irrigation and hydropower.
