Benefits of Partnership

DRINK highlights partner organization projects and provides partners with an easy, quick, and efficient means of posting project updates and results to the web. It can be used as a tool for planning and coordinating research; researchers can identify research gaps and assess future project priorities. It also allows partners to identify opportunities for collaboration to leverage research. Partners maintain control of their project information on the DRINK web site without the hosting or site maintenance costs.

Research Collaboration
While DRINK brings together information on the research projects planned or performed by various organizations, the Global Water Research Coalition (GWRC) helps organizations coordinate resources to conduct research projects. The GWRC leverages funding and expertise among participating research organizations, coordinates research strategies, secures additional funding not available to single country research foundations, and actively manages a centralized approach to global issues. DRINK users interested in learning more about GWRC can visit the organization's web site, at http://www.globalwaterresearchcoalition.net/index.html.
