Water for Environment and Society

Water resources are fundamental to the wellbeing of all nations, and to global biodiversity. We bring together world-class expertise to support the sustainable management of water resources. Our team of researchers includes hydrologists, ecologists, biogeochemists, engineers, architects, modellers, economists and social scientists, working in collaboration with the water sector and water users. We integrate water research across key priority areas, including urban water planning and management, groundwater research and training, climate change impacts on water systems, river and wetland ecology, remote community water access and management, and marine and freshwater plastic pollution research.
