Organisation profile

Water is the most important natural resource on earth. With an ever growing demand on limited water resources, it is essential that we approach sustainable water management in an innovative and integrated way.

In collaboration with Wessex Water, we have launched the Water Innovation & Research Centre: WIRC @ Bath, providing a unique environment to engage globally in research and policy on water technologies and resource management.
