National Urban Water Governance Program
|
The National Urban Water Governance Program (NUWGP) is a social research program aimed at facilitating progress towards Water Sensitive Cities.
The Australian urban water sector is facing a number of significant challenges as it attempts to implement more sustainable practices in a period of dynamic and rapid change.
The NUWGP provides a reliable knowledge base for addressing these issues via a number of closely related and complimentary research projects investigating the changing governance of traditional urban water management across Australia and overseas.
Three key questions guiding the research of the NUWGP include:
- What socio-institutional factors are most important for enabling change towards Water Sensitive Cities?
- How can current reform processes be effectively informed and adapted to advance Water Sensitive Cities?
- What are the implications and future roles for professionals in the urban water sector?
The research is coordinated through the School of Geography and Environmental Science, Monash University in collaboration with a range of partnering organisations that not only contribute to the core research, but also form part of the 'stakeholder steering committee'. Active collaboration with industry stakeholders allows for the integration of socio-technical scientific research with experiential knowledge and enhances the uptake of the products and guidance developed as a result of the research.
