G-WADI aims to strengthen
the global capacity to manage the
water resources of arid and
semi-arid areas. Its primary goal is
to build an effective global
ommunity through integration of
selected existing materials from
networks, centers, organizations,
and individuals who become
members of G-WADI. The
network promotes international and regional cooperation
in the arid and semi-arid areas.
Specific objectives include:
• improved understanding of the special characteristics
of hydrological systems and water management needs in
arid areas
• capacity building of individuals and institutions,
matching supply with need
• broad dissemination of understanding of water in arid
zones to the user community and the public
• sharing data and exchanging experience to support
research and sound water management
• raising awareness of advanced technologies for data
provision, data assimilation, and system analysis
• promoting integrated basin management and the use
of appropriate decision support tools.
