One Water Ohio

August 17-20, 2026 | Cincinnati, OH

Driving water innovation for Ohio communities

Black & Veatch is a proud sponsor of the 2026 One Water Ohio Conference & Expo. Each year, more than 2,000 water professionals gather at One Water Ohio to exchange ideas, explore emerging technologies and collaborate on the solutions shaping the future of water across the state. It's a natural fit for Black & Veatch. We've been helping shape Ohio's water future since 1928, when we delivered our first water project for the City of Dayton. Today, with offices in Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo, our local professionals are partnering with Ohio communities and utilities to deliver resilient, forward-thinking water and wastewater infrastructure.

Practical insights from industry-leading experts

Black & Veatch professionals will be sharing insights at this year's conference through technical presentations that reflect the challenges Ohio's water community is tackling right now. From advancing water reuse strategies and leveraging data-driven tools for smarter infrastructure planning to addressing construction challenges and strengthening system resilience, our experts bring practical, field-tested perspectives to every session.
