The Water Seekers’ Fellowship 2021

Flowing Rivers, focuses on understanding the dynamics of river systems. The fellowship adopts an interdisciplinary lens to understand the policy implications of water distribution and management on national and global water, food security, energy, and livelihoods

By 2050, half of our population will be living in urban and peri-urban areas. This will put immense pressure on available water resources across the urban space, much of which has limited infrastructure for water management.

The Living Waters Museum, SPRF India and World Wide Fund for Nature-India invite young researchers interested in exploring urban waterscapes in India to apply for six short-term visual research-cum-policy-analysis fellowships.
