Water Policy and Governance Group

The Water Policy and Governance Group is a multi-university research collaborative. Our focus is water governance and water policy, primarily – but not exclusively – in Canada. Major themes in our research program include water security, source water protection, water allocation, and adaptation to climate change. We carry out practical, policy-relevant research that contributes solutions to these problems. Our success is grounded in our network of researchers and partners across Canada and around the world. Graduate training is a central part of our mission. We accomplish our goals in large part because of our excellent graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research associates.
