It is a global knowledge platform which supports actors to implement IWRM, share knowledge and expertise about their implementation experiences, and bring relevant stakeholders together to improve the way water is managed around the world.

The Austrian Development Agency, the operational unit of Austrian Development Cooperation, supports the Water Knowledge Hub.

The GWP Water Knowledge Hub is for anyone interested in adopting better practices for the management of water or learning more about how to improve water management at a local, national, regional or global level.

More specifically it addresses the user needs of these four primary target audiences:
