The South Asia Consortium for Interdisciplinary Water Resources Studies, SaciWATERs, is committed to bringing about structural changes in the water resources management paradigm in South Asia.
Institute of Water and Flood Management (IWFM) formerly known as Institute of Flood Control and Drainage Research was established in 1974 under the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
Working primarily on water security issues in Peri-Urban South Asia, across India, Bangladesh and Nepal, the project’s main concerns are the rapidly changing peri-urban landscapes due to urbanisation and implications for water security in specific locations in the larger context of climate change. As an action research project, it will serve as a basis for capacity-building at the grass roots level to address concerns of the poor, marginalised and other vulnerable communities to water security and seek to understand the dynamics of adaptation in the specific locations, for action and policy agenda at the regional level.
