Water
The Water Resource Systems Research Laboratory is delivering a unique combination of climate, catchment and coastal modelling, together with advanced hydroinformatics, risk analysis and decision support tools. Computational and statistical research is backed by a long-term commitment to field experimentation at a range of scales, which provides the data necessary to pioneer process understanding and underpin model validation. Scientific achievements have been converted into tools to transform industry practice and our system-scale perspective is shaping the policy agenda.
In tandem, the Centre for Land Use and Water Resources Research (CLUWRR, located in NIRES for interdisciplinary working) is having a remarkable impact in the developing world, where it successfully integrates bio-physical and socio-economic research to tackle water management challenges set out in the Millennium Development Goals.
