Some of the world's most reputable and leading research organisations have established an international water research alliance: the Global Water Research Coalition.

The major challenges confronting the water industry across the world such as climate change, energy efficiency, sustainability and the protection of drinking water quality and therefore public health, are global in nature and transcend both national and continental boundaries.
