This is the Water Security Knowledge Exchange Portal
The UK’s economic and social well-being will be determined by its ability to stimulate creative thinking that generates innovative new methods, systems and products. Effective partnering between government, industry and the research-base is key to this.
The site is designed to help businesses, policymakers, regulators and others see how the water-related challenges that they face have been addressed, and to assist them in finding the data and researchers that can help them address the water-related challenges of the future..
The Water Portal brings together a number of online tools produced by the NERC-funded Water Security Knowledge Exchange Programme which has now finished. The website is currently hosted by the James Hutton Institute.
