Water Research Centre
Capability and expertise in water

The Water Research Centre brings together scientists, engineers and economists to address water management issues of national significance.

The Water Research Centre builds upon the successes of the Water Research Cluster and will continue to build a creative, energetic and visionary water centre at the University of Adelaide. We are ready to engage government, industry and the community in water issues related to, climate change, process management and human health.

As a member of the environment institute the Water Research Centre has access to a pool of over 250 scientists that work across a broad range of disciplines, providing decision makers with evidence based research for the management and use of natural resources and infrastructure.

Our dedicated team seeks to establish new networks and collaborations both in Australia and internationally to bring science of water to a new level.
