Urban water

Effective water management shapes our ability to survive and thrive in response to challenges such as urban expansion and climate change.

Monash University is committed to urban water research and the development of scientific resources that protect and enhance sustainable environments at the local, national and global level.

We take a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to research that involves experts from Engineering, Science, Law, Arts, Business and Economics, and Art and Design.

Our researchers work on exciting projects that improve how people use and manage water. More than that, our work influences the way people think about the precious resources upon which life depends.
