The Global Institute for Water Security

Welcome to the YouTube channel for the Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) at the University of Saskatchewan. Here you will find videos from our Distinguished Lecture Series, as well as other information from our research teams.
 
Officially launched in March 2011, the Global Institute for Water Security builds upon leading expertise and capacity in water research at the U of S. Over 70 faculty and government scientists and 50 students and post-doctoral fellows are working in interdisciplinary teams to understand how climate change, land management practices, and development of natural resources are affecting our water environment, and develop the improved modelling tools needed to sustainably manage water. The institute combines expertise in natural sciences, engineering and the social sciences, recognizing that people and their activities are of critical importance for water science and management.
