Our Research
Research is the foundation of our work at Water Witness. It helps us understand how water is used, who benefits and who bears the costs. It also provides the evidence we need to make the case for change.
Working alongside communities and partners around the world, we bring together research and lived experience to expose water injustice, hold decision-makers to account and identify solutions, working with people and powers where we can. This evidence informs our campaigns, shapes our recommendations and underpins our call for fairer, more sustainable water use.
Explore our reports and summaries, as well as research from in-country partner organisations below to understand the issues, hear from those affected and discover what needs to change.
And crucially, find out how you can get involved. We're all part of creating a fair water future.
