Welcome to the Centre for Water Economics, Environment and Policy (CWEEP)
CWEEP pronounced 'sweep' as in to survey so as to obtain a whole and continuous view of the world
Our mission:
To become a leading research centre on water economics and related water policy and water governance issues; and to be part of a global network of water researchers, educators and policy makers to support water education, to strengthen water governance and to promote environmental sustainability.

Director's Notes
Welcome to CWEEP! As the acronym implies this centre has a key goal to have a wider and holistic perspective of the world in terms of water so that we can see better and further and better address water-related problems. The centre was officially launched in February 2010 and since then we have organized several workshops on water issues, including three separate workshops on water reform in reference to the Murray-Darling Basin. We also have a very active working paper series and I would encourage you to check out this papers that cover a wide range of water-related topics.
The undoubted strength of CWEEP is its Research Associates. Many are leaders in their fields of water research and also in the policy arena. Most are from Australia, but we have Associates from China, France, Spain, Canada, the USA and other locations. We all share a common goal to better understand, and ultimately manage, water related problems on a local and global scale. We face big challenges, but together, we believe we can make a difference.
