Brightstorm collaborates with the ADS Foundation to Advance Innovation in Stormwater Solutions

In a strategic collaboration with the ADS Foundation, Brightstorm, a program of The Nature Conservancy, works to protect freshwater systems and accelerate the development of Smart Watershed Network Management (SWNM) solutions across the United States.

Together, the ADS Foundation and Brightstorm will combine ADS’ industry-leading stormwater products with Brightstorm’s data-driven approach to stormwater management to help communities better manage runoff, improve water quality, and build resilience against flooding.

Technology Meets Conservation

The collaboration pairs ADS’ advanced stormwater products with Brightstorm’s data analytics, modeling tools, and on-the-ground conservation expertise, making stormwater infrastructure smarter and more adaptive. Smart sensors, predictive weather tools, and machine learning are being used to improve water quality and strengthen ecosystem resilience.

As the climate changes, the two organizations are deepening their work together to steward freshwater systems that provide so much to neighborhoods nationwide.

Innovation with Impact

Together, the ADS Foundation and Brightstorm are redefining how we manage, protect, and value water, transforming innovation into lasting impact.
