The Chair of Water of Alicante University has been created to enhance a department that is dedicated to research, training and dissemination in the field of comprehensive water resource management, promoting activities that have been designed with a global vision of all the disciplines that are involved in running it. This Chair, which has been launched with the help of the Alicante Country Council, will be in charge of organising activities aimed at promoting the dissemination of knowledge about sustainable water management.

In this way the Chair of Water of Alicante University will contribute to the generation of specific knowledge to deal with challenges and the different problems related to the comprehensive water resource management that arise.
