a leading provider of innovative water management solutions in the

communities in which we work, and these four states are key regions
where many of our employees call home," said Kevin Talley, president of the ADS Foundation.
"At ADS, our reason is water, and we work to preserve it both
through our stormwater management solutions and key donations such
as this that can make an impact in our communities."

organizations in the world. With more than a million members and

"We are grateful for the investment the ADS Foundation is making
in protecting water in these four important regions," said

director for The Nature Conservancy. "This gift will allow us to
focus on outcomes such as watershed restoration, water protection,
enhanced community engagement and access, and the right policies,
strategies, and tools to forge resilient and healthy waters across
the country."
