THE GLOBAL WATER CHALLENGE
Water resources are under stress because of:
• Climate change
• Urbanisation
• Increased world population
• Resource demand
• Water Scarcity
• Need for resource security & supply
The question:
How can ICT help in securing
access to sufficient and safe
water?

MANAGEMENT TOOL
The “homepage” for the Waternomics Methodology “Trello Board” for the
NUIG pilot activity. The screen is split up into five columns corresponding to
the Waternomics methodology phases and activities within them. A sixth
column captures associated research tasks and activities of interest to the
working group.
