What is the Water Collaboratory?
The Pittsburgh Collaboratory for Water at the University of Pittsburgh bridges efforts in water research, governance, and action. By connecting universities, local governments, non-profits, and community groups, the Pittsburgh Water Collaboratory aims to align efforts across the region. We work to ensure that data and expertise are accessible to those who need it, that research responds to real needs, and that students are prepared to solve real challenges, today and tomorrow. Our clean water future can be found where science and community meet. Learn more about us »
