The Centre for Sustainable Water Management
The Centre for Sustainable Water Management (CSWM) at Lancaster seeks to deliver integrated solutions for some of the World’s grand challenges for water.

We undertake pure, strategic and applied research to develop scientific tools and techniques to solve problems related land and water management.
The solutions demand a truly inter-disciplinary approach, incorporating physical hydrology, aquatic chemistry, soil science, biogeochemistry and social sciences, delivered via shared catchment platforms, modelling and uncertainty analysis.
This research undertaken by the Centre takes the latest discoveries and innovations in water science and translates into policy impacts.
