The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Water Nexus is a specialist platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI). Its mandate is the science of interdependent water systems: watersheds and aquifers, water services and the health, energy, food and economic resilience that depend on them. This page sets out who is responsible for the platform, what it is designed to do, the limits of its role and its current operating state.

Water Nexus exists to make evidence about water systems usable and checkable by the people who manage them, and to show where that evidence stops.
Water, with its links to climate and hazards and to critical infrastructure: catchments, groundwater, extremes, drinking water and sanitation, utilities, shared basins, energy and food.
Basin scientists, water utilities, municipal engineers, water agencies and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) researchers.
Watershed research briefs, public-safe basin maps and utility resilience case studies.
Fig.How the platform is governed: a mandate sets scope, an editor and reviewers govern what is published, programmes and the community supply the work, the integrity route handles corrections, authority stays outside. Design, not a record.
The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) publishes Water Nexus and answers for its content. GCRI works across Canada and the United States.
Water Nexus is an established platform with a published site. Its existing activity is confirmed against records before it is listed here, and new services open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
