The Sustainable Water Resources pathway acknowledges that water resources are an integral component of the ecosystem, a natural resource, and a social and economic good. Traditional, fragmented sectoral approaches to water and related resources and management have led to poor services and unsustainable resource use.

This pathway aims to develop systems-level thinking and multidisciplinary understanding for coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources to maximise economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising natural capital.
