Charles Sturt University (CSU) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) are embarking on a collaborative hydrology project of global significance in Wagga Wagga. Based on CSU’s Wagga Wagga Campus, the proposed Water, Agriculture, Technology and Environment Research (WATER) Centre for Food Security will develop strategies and programmes to ensure adequate, sustainable water supplies for agriculture and research while protecting the environment. CSU School of Environmental Sciences Professor Shabaz Khan says the work of the WATER Centre relates to all countries sharing concerns on managing water resources for food security and alleviating poverty while preserving the environment, through research, education and training. Two UNESCO representatives, Professor Siegfried Demuth from France and Mr Giuseppe Arduino from Indonesia, will visit CSU Wagga Wagga Campus for the launch of the WATER Centre. Professor Khan says, “The Centre will work on national and international water problems by seeking local solutions for global impacts on water quality issues”.
