Research Priorities

NPSI's projects focus on practices and systems which:

  • Offer higher productivity and quality while using less water and minimising environmental impact;
  • Improve security of water supply;
  • Assess and manage ecological risk; and
  • Plan strategically to manage future uncertainty.
