The Centre for Water Informatics and Technology (WIT), is organising a workshop on Building Resilience for Data-scarce Water Systems in Pakistan on July 7, 2023. The workshop aims to showcase innovative research that addresses the pressing challenges related to local water systems compounded with limitations on data availability. Such limitations are a major hindrance to effective water resource management.
The workshop will provide a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and informed discussions, that aim to expose the participants to innovative methods to deal with the challenge of data scarcity in local water systems. Such exposure is essential to pave the way for evidence-based decision-making, sustainable water management practices, and inclusive policies. The workshop is planned as a series of talks that span across a half-day event. We invite all researchers and practitioners working in this specific field to participate in the workshop.
