Water security – a sustainable and adequate quantity and quality of water – is essential to human life, food and energy security, health and wellbeing, and economic prosperity.


Our research
Our global team of researchers and partners come together to work collaboratively, using our integrated, transformative systems approach, that recognises the interactions and interdependencies between people, institutions, natural environment, and infrastructure.


Where we work
Our international and interdisciplinary team is made up of four 'collaboratories' (collaborative laboratories) conducting place-based work in four countries: Colombia, Ethiopia, India, and Malaysia. View our interactive maps, read about the place-based research happening in each team, and learn more about the research themes and strands each collaboratory is leading on.
We're working for safe water for all, building capacity and establishing global networks. A recent workshop on our 'Lab in a suitcase' allowed 37 trainees from 10 African countries to gain hands-on experience analysing river water and wastewater samples ➡️https://t.co/B8VUNCshaN https://t.co/Keq4iZvTDy
