Arab Water Council (AWC)

The Arab Water Council (AWC) mission is to promote deeper understanding and better management of the water resources in the Arab states in a multi-disciplinary, non-political, professional and scientific approach to disseminate knowledge and enhance sharing of experiences to achieve integrated water resources management for sustainable development and good water governance for the benefit of the Arab people. The Arab Water Council, based in Cairo, Egypt, was established in 2004, as a regional non-profit organization with activities extended on both regional and international scales. The Council is working towards an Arab collective role that raises the level of awareness with existing water resources management challenges, intensifies the current effort to confront them and contributes to development of the new water culture.
