EXPANDING IMPACT
Economic growth, food security, public health, and global trade require water availability 
and most importantly, water stewardship.
A
ccording to The Water Council, water 
stewardship is the use of water that is 
socially and culturally equitable, environ-
mentally sustainable, and economically 
beneficial, achieved through a stakeholder- 
inclusive process that includes both site- 
and watershed-based actions.*
For companies like Rockwell and the 
customers we serve, this means consid-
ering not only how water is used within 
operations, but the mutual relationship 
between how that water use impacts the 
watershed, and how the conditions of the 
watershed impact operations.

ater conservation is critical to sustainability, 
and water utilities are one area of enormous 
potential savings. 
On average, U.S. utilities lose 16% of their water 
supply annually.* Water is lost in several ways—for 
example, by pumping water into leaky pipes. 
These leaks send millions of gallons of water to 
underground lakes and waste electricity and money, 
because electric pumps are used to push that water 
to an unproductive destination. 
In 2022, Rockwell developed a Digital Water Solution 
utilizing Cisco IoT connectivity for smart water
