About the Centre

About Us

The Centre for Water Technology and Policy at The University of Hong Kong (HKU Water Centre) is an inter-faculty collaborative unit between the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Social Sciences. Through inter-disciplinary research and analysis, the Water Centre generates professional insights on complex, multi-dimensional problems in the urban water sector. The strengths of engineering and social sciences disciplines are purposefully converged and fused, through innovative inter-disciplinary research design and analytical lens, to create unique diagnostic capabilities for us to deliver on those insights.

Our Vision

We aspire to becoming the focal point on water technology and water policy research that has direct policy relevance for Hong Kong.

Our Mission

We leverage the insights of interdisciplinary knowledge to re-define, and tackle, water resources management challenges in Hong Kong.
