墨尔本大学与莫那什大学加入了水资源联合组织。针对最近的水危机进行研究并给予解决办法。

 

        这两所澳大利亚的顶级学府在过去的三年里，分别投入了超过100万澳元，成为与水相关研究的有力先锋联合。

 

        该合作始于1997年，诞生于墨尔本大学和莫那什大学联合签署的首例合作草案。

 

        在墨尔本大学的校长Glyn Davis和莫那什大学的校长Richard Larkins的支持下，水资源联合组织最近由维多利亚水利部John Thwaites启动。

 

        Thwaites表示该联合组织“将通过扩展我们的知识和揭示水的现状，不断开发我们的能力，以提供可持续发展的水资源”。

 

        联合组织的主任John Langford认为研究可以解决一部分水危机。“我们只有做足研究才可以开始解决水管理问题。”

The University of Melbourne and Monash University have joined forces in Uniwater, a major research-driven response to the current water crisis.
The two leading Australian universities have each put in more than $1 million over three years to spearhead a unique collaboration creating a powerful critical mass of expertise in water-related research.
The collaboration is the first initiative under the revitalized Melbourne Monash Protocol which was set up in 1997.
Uniwater was launched recently by Victorian Minister for Water John Thwaites with support from the University of Melbourne Vice-Chancellor Professor Glyn Davis and Monash University Vice-Chancellor Professor Richard Larkins.
Minister Thwaites said the collaboration “will further develop our ability to provide sustainable water supplies into the future by increasing our knowledge and understanding of water issues”.
Director of Uniwater, Professor John Langford, agrees that research holds many of the answers to the water crisis. “We cannot begin to solve water management problems until we do that research,” he said.
