Our mission
The Water for Change programme envisions a proactive approach to address India's urban challenges, integrating water management into the fabric of fast-growing secondary cities. Recognizing the convergence of natural disasters, economic crises, and social inequality, we aim to deliver transformative solutions. By adopting a holistic approach encompassing governance, planning, technology, and societal behavior, we seek to co-create and mainstream water-sensitive design frameworks tailored for these cities. Our goal is to establish resilient and equitable urban water systems, leveraging water as a catalyst for positive change and sustainable development.

About us
The Water4Change (W4C) research programme addresses the complex challenges to urban water systems faced by fast-growing secondary cities in India and the sustainability transitions that are needed for short- and long-term mitigation of, adaptation to and coping with urgencies and uncertainties. By co-creating a Water Sensitive City Framework and a Fit-for-Purpose Guidelines, W4C aims to enable water sensitive development, accounting for site specificities, knowledge and practices, presenting innovative interventions, practices and design, and policy guidelines.
