The IWRA Smart Water Management Task Force – Bureau was formed to position IWRA in discussions on smart water management and inform its debates. The Task Force Bureau’s role is to identify topics of interest from the IWRA membership at the interface of science and policy, to work in an interdisciplinary way to better understand the issues and develop solutions, as well as offer policy advice at country, regional, and international levels. The Task Force Bureau will form Working Groups drawn from its membership to produce specific concept notes, academic research, policy briefs or webinars around various sub themes of interest. Click for more information.
