The Connected Waters Initiative (CWI) has created a new research focus at UNSW on the interaction between groundwater and surface water. Surface waters can include rivers, lakes, irrigation supplies, stormwater runoff, oceans and estuaries. Research is in progress in a number of rural and urban environments from the coast to the semi-arid slopes and plains, mainly within NSW, Australia.

Research areas are within three key themes:

  1. Connectivity between the ocean and coastal groundwater
  2. Connectivity between irrigated agriculture and groundwater
  3. Connectivity between surface water and groundwater
