Global Water Security Center

Providing decision makers with the most reliable, ground-breaking research, applied scientific techniques, and best practices so that the hydrologic cycle and its potential impacts can be put in a context for appropriate action and response by the United States

About Us

Our Mission

GWSC translates water and environmental science to help global decision makers improve security at the intersection of water, energy, food, and health.

Why Our Work is Important

To make the best decisions, U.S. and international leaders need to understand where around the world water and climate can impact instability and conflict. Yet a gap exists between environmental research and the people who can put this information to work.

GWSC bridges this gap through innovative, thoughtful water- and environmental-security analysis communicated in clear, compelling briefs.
