The COVID-19 outbreak has changed nearly every aspect of the lives of the world’s citizens. And every organisation’s way of doing business, including GWP’s, has been upended. During these difficult times, GWP’s unique global network and competencies are and will remain in keeping attention on the water security agenda. On this page, we gather information, news, and resources from the GWP network and beyond, on water-related topics connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our digital library is an online database of digital objects that can include text, still images, audio, video, digital documents, or other digital media formats.

We will keep updating our collection for your need.
