The.water extension is a thematic generic top-level domain centred on the idea of water, making it a natural fit for organisations and projects connected with water use, access, stewardship, science and services. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.water. ICANN’s 2026 round materials show the application process and current status information for applied-for strings, while the operator’s own site presents.water within its proposed namespace.
