Fluid Water Solutions

h2orizons is committed to seeing a global water future that supports productive and sustainable industries, resilient communities and thriving natural ecosystems. Water is the foundation of economies, societies and natural environments around the world, but a step change in thinking and innovation is essential given the pressures of population growth, urbanisation and climate change. Water already underpins three out of four jobs globally, yet we also know that around 80% of the necessary actions required to adapt to a changing climate will be in water related fields.
In this context, water should not be seen as a constraint to progress, but as a catalyst for positive change.
h2orizons was established in 2022 to drive accelerated development and application of new water technologies and practices in Australia and around the world.
