The Global Water Security Center (GWSC) is an applied research and operational center commissioned with assisting national and international agencies, as well as potentially supporting multi-national companies, who have interests in water quality and quantity that may affect sectors such as diplomacy, transportation, supply chain management, etc. We analyze data and produce water and environmental security products that provide decision makers with the most reliable information, groundbreaking research, applied scientific techniques, and best practices so the hydrologic cycle and its potential impacts can be put in a context for appropriate action and response by State of Alabama, regional, national, and global entities.
