Who
The International WaterCentre (IWC) is a joint venture of four leading Australian universities: The University of Queensland, Griffith University, Monash University and The University of Western Australia.
The IWC's partners are the South East Queensland Healthy Waterways Partnership and the International RiverFoundation, and it is supported by the Queensland Government.
What
The IWC provides education and training, applied research and expert services to promote a whole-of-water cycle approach and develop capacity in integrated water resource management around the world.
When
The IWC was established in 2005.
Where
The IWC's head office is in Brisbane, Australia. The IWC Africa Water Research Node is located at Monash University, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Why
In the complex world of climate change and population growth, water professionals can no longer focus on a single aspect of water management. Solving water-related problems requires technical and scientific expertise, and greater understanding and integration of environmental, social and political factors.
The IWC has a vision to change the way water is managed in the world, so that all human beings have access to clean water and the resources of the planet are used in an ecologically sustainable way.
