We undertake pure, strategic and applied research to develop scientific tools and techniques to solve problems related to land and water management. The solutions demand a truly interdisciplinary approach, incorporating physical hydrology, aquatic chemistry, soil science, biogeochemistry and social sciences, delivered through shared catchment platforms, modelling and uncertainty analysis. This research takes the latest discoveries in water science and works with the world-wide water industry, policy makers and others to deliver innovative solutions for a sustainable supply of clean water for everyone.
