It comprises a team of water experts from its staff, associates and networks. Located at IISD's Head Office in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, the Centre's primary focus is the systematic evaluation of water management measures, costs and benefits. WIC's integrated water management policy and practice innovations are designed to have relevance in North America and worldwide.
