The Connected Waters Initiative is a multidisciplinary initiative between UNSW Faculties of Science, Law, Arts and Social Sciences and Engineering, supporting staff from the Schools of Civil & Environmental Engineering, School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering, School of Biological Earth & Environmental Sciences, School of Law, School of Humanities and Languages and Environmental Humanities Program. Our mission is to undertake the fundamental and applied research needed to improve our understanding of groundwater systems both nationally and internationally. With our partners, we continue to train the next generation of expert researchers and groundwater professionals. 

CWI supports a range of groundwater research projects funded by the Australian Research Council, State Governments and the Cotton RDC, and was has a long history in groundwater research collaborations, including via the Australian Research Council and National Water Commission co-funded Centre for Excellence for Groundwater Research and Training (NCGRT).
