Welcome to Water Witness International
Water Witness’s vision is of:
a world where rivers, streams, lakes and groundwater are managed on a fair, efficient and sustainable basis in order to provide water of good enough quality and in sufficient quantity to support human health and well-being, diverse ecosystems and society’s economic and agricultural needs.  
Our role in achieving this will be to:

•    facilitate understanding across society and meaningful stakeholder engagement in water resource management
•    undertake targeted research and development of appropriate approaches to water resource management
•    support efficiency, equity and accountability in water resource management and aid to the sector
•    advocate and communicate in order to catalyse change
•    offer independent mediation and objective brokering of sustainable solutions
•    develop and deliver appropriate training
•    collaborate with partners to champion sustainable development

In undertaking these roles we will adhere to our values and beliefs. We believe in:
- mobilising the enormous energy, creativity and capacity which exists in all nations;
- transparency  in the delivery and use of aid which represents good value for the citizens of both recipient and donor countries;
- finding imaginative and creative ways of working in a spirit of partnership and respect;
- criticism which is constructive and that suggests realistic options for progress;
- social justice & the rule of law as central to sustainable development;
- information freely available in a form which is meaningful to those it effects

Our objectives can be divided into five broad but overlapping themes.  

1)   Effective and accountable systems of water resource administration and regulation;
2)   An effective response to climate change in the way that water resources are managed;
3)   Sustainable water resource use by the private sector which does not externalise costs onto society or the environment;
4)   Water resource management and donor support that represents good value for money;
5)   Meaningful stakeholder engagement to prevent conflict over water resources and to promote sustainable and equitable resource use.
