Establishing the Water Knowledge Baseline
Professor Claire Côte of Sustainable Minerals Institute has coordinated the preparation of this first draft of the Water Knowledge Baseline for the CEEC Global Water Initiative with contributions from Prof Neil McIntyre, Prof Mansour Edraki, Dr Pascal Bolz, Dr Nevenka Bulovic, Dr Robynne Chrystal, Dr Louisa Rochford, Dr Mandana Shaygan. This version remains work in progress and is intended as a starting point for input from sponsors and CEEC affiliated professionals, followed by minor updates and an initial public release.
The knowledge base is expected to evolve as feedback and input are received and will require periodic updates to keep it current. CEEC is determining the best way to gather and validate updates to content, as well as an expected cycle for periodic reviews and updates.
The next update is expected to include additional information on references to regulatory approaches, technical guidelines, and guidance documents from a wider range of jurisdictions. CEEC partners, supporters and sponsors will be well placed to submit references to such documents, based on their experience.
Case studies will strengthen the knowledge base. CEEC partners, supporters and sponsors are encouraged to submit ideas. The team working on the Water Knowledge Baseline can assist with drafting written content describing the case studies, if required.
It has been envisaged that the knowledge baseline will be transposed to an online wiki structure, similar to the GARD Guide. The timing, hosting, and management of the set-up of this wiki is yet to be determined. Input is sought from sponsors and CEEC affiliated professionals on how best to manage the wiki and associated updates.
