Pacific Water Research Centre
The vision of the Faculty of Applied Sciences' Pacific Water Research Centre (PWRC) is to promote and mobilize research that addresses water issues on multiple scales ranging from local communities to national to global.
In pursuit of this vision, PWRC connects critical findings from science and social science research with local knowledge. By supporting cross-disciplinary exploration at the interface of water science, social values, and public policy, the Centre provides a forum for advancing evidence-based research and concrete societal change. This research approach creates space to test policy and technological innovation.
Research Themes
- How can we foster sustainable, climate-resilient and carbon-neutral water development in major cities?
- Can coastal fisheries be effectively conserved in view of increasing global threats and challenges, particularly considering concerns of indigenous populations?
- How can a national strategy for achieving long-term food and energy security be achieved in response to the threats of drought and drastically changing water flows?
- What approaches would work best to integrate management of river deltas and estuaries to achieve a balance between intense human activity and the need to protect riverine ecosystems?
