Jacobs at WEFTEC 2025

At Jacobs, we recognize that water challenges are complex and interconnected. With our OneWater approach, we work across traditional water management silos to develop holistic, integrated solutions for our clients.

With this OneWater approach, we also recognize that all water has value. Wastewater is no longer seen as a waste, but as a precious resource that we can reclaim, repurpose and reuse. Utilities, industries and water-scarce regions are implementing water reuse schemes and water systems capable of recovering energy, carbon and nutrients – recognizing the value of conserving water, optimizing their operations and reducing their energy and carbon footprint.

Learn more from the Jacobs team at WEFTEC, Sep. 27 – Oct. 1 in Chicago. We have 40+ thought leaders presenting and moderating sessions on key water topics, including:

• Water reuse
• Renewable energy generation
• Emissions reduction
• Digital twins
• Urban flood mitigation
• Biosolids management
• PFAS in wastewater
