Goyder Institute Research Objectives

The Institute will provide knowledge to support:

• the delivery of reliable and resilient urban water supplies that meet future needs;
• the ongoing viability of existing water dependent developments and the identification of future sustainable water resource development opportunities;
• the provision of environmental water to achieve optimal outcomes;
• proactive responses to climate change in water resource management; and
• effective water management policy and decision making with clear and transparent trade-offs.

Research effort will be focussed across four enduring Research Themes:

1. Urban Water
2. Water for Industry
3. Environmental Water
4. Climate Change
