The long-term goal of the GWRC is to achieve a sustained multi-million dollar annual joint research effort that will address international issues related to drinking water, wastewater, water supply, and renewable water resources. Ultimately, implementation of research strategies will lead to improved efficiencies among member organisations.

Issues of the present GWRC research agenda are:

• Endocrine Disrupting Compounds
• Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products
• NDMA (nitrosodimethylamine)
• MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether)
• New pesticides
