Water Witness International

About us

In 2008 a group of scientists and development practitioners founded Water Witness to carry out research, take action and advocate for better water resource management. Having worked on water issues all over the world for many years, we saw a clear opportunity to craft new solutions to tackle the world’s spiralling water resource challenges. Business-as-usual approaches by governments, donors, the private sector and NGOs weren’t working, and in some cases they were part of the problem. We envisaged a new type of NGO. One led by water resource managers with hands on experience of water politics and practice, providing on the ground, people centred action, cutting-edge research and targeted advocacy.
