The Global Water Research Coalition (GWRC) is a non-profit organisation that serves as the collaborative mechanism for water research. The services the GWRC offers its members is water research information and knowledge. The GWRC will not compete with any of the member organisations. Each member organisation will still focus on national and regional water research issues. The aim of the GWRC is to leverage funding and expertise amongst the participating research organisations, coordinate research strategies, secure additional funding not available to single country research foundations, and actively manage a centralised approach to global issues.
