Tetra Tech’s full lifecycle work with One Water programs provides a foundation for our thriving, industry-leading water reuse solutions. One Water shifts the linear model of water management to a circular strategy, emphasizing recovery, recycling, and reuse. Under a One Water approach, utilities manage the full spectrum of water resources holistically, balancing ecosystem processes with the needs of communities, industry, agriculture, and habitats.
