Water Knowledge Hub
Our vision is to enable water security through developing and demonstrating a systems and capacity building approach that better understands water systems; values all aspects of water; and strengthens water governance to enable integrated water management. The Hub brings together an internationally leading team of researchers. Structured around six Work Streams (WS), WS1 will establish four Water Collaboratories – Collaborative Laboratories – to provide place-based case studies, and a vehicle for partnership working and capacity building (Section IV). WS3-5 will undertake challenge-led research through which capacity building is embedded to tackle key water security issues. These are underpinned by enabling tools (WS2) to support systems integration across these challenges. WS6 will embed a continuous process of monitoring and evaluation and learning.
