Newcastle University also leads the UKRI GCRF Water Security and Sustainable Development Hub.

Together with a wide range of UK and international universities, we are addressing the challenge of water security for all.

The Water Security and Sustainable Development Hub is bringing together leading global experts from:

• academia
• industry
• government

As part of this work, we're helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change, such as drought and flooding. We are also developing new solutions for water management and treatment of wastewater.

The hub is also creating a global network of local water collaborations using a transdisciplinary co-production approach.
