Working with Water

All around the world, urban water systems are facing the pressures of climate change and urban expansion. Cities are experiencing droughts, floods, and degrading waterways. And they need to find new ways to manage their water.
Monash University has an international reputation for innovative research that does just that. And Monash Water Sensitive Cities supports interdisciplinary research on urban water from faculties and institutes across the university – including Arts; Engineering; Design and Architecture; Science; Law; Business and Economics; and more recently, Medicine.
