Sheffield Water Centre

We want to partner with you to tackle these challenges together

An interdisciplinary water research centre, dedicated to continuing the University of Sheffield's highly collaborative and innovative approach to solving major challenges in the water sector.

Welcome to Sheffield Water Centre

Around the world, water resources are already under pressure. Innovative approaches are needed to manage the challenges of ageing infrastrucure, climate change, increasing population and increasingly demanding customers. The water sector must also manage sustainability challenges such as rising resource costs, attracting investment and skills shortages.
