Overview

The Institute for Water Futures (IWF) leads research to understand change and enable action in Australia and beyond. Established by the Australian National University in 2020, the IWF brings together researchers from across the University to explore the long-term future of water in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. Based at the ANU Fenner School for Environment and Society, our research combines expertise from earth, engineering, mathematical, hydrological and ecological sciences; social sciences, economics, policy and cybernetics. Though our work and partnerships, we grow capabilities across the water sector to inform today’s decisions that anticipate our increasingly complex and uncertain water futures.
