The South Asia Consortium for Interdisciplinary Water Resources Studies, SaciWATERs, is committed to bringing about structural change in the dominant water resources management paradigm in South Asia. Within that, SaciWATERs focuses on transforming water resources knowledge systems. Key ideas are an interdisciplinary approach to understanding water resources issues, from a pro-poor, human development perspective, with an emphasis on exchange, interaction and collaboration at South Asia level. The longer term aim is to establish a South Asian “virtual water university”.
We, at SaciWATERs, aim to contribute to a paradigm shift in the water resources managment system by means of various partnership-based programmes for capacity building of water professionals through higher education, innovation and social learning focused research(“research with an impact”), knowledge based development and networking
SaciWATERs is active in three domains : education, research and advocacy, by implementing projects
