| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Through symposium, open forum and workshop venues, a community of water and education related specialists was created and productive dialogue regarding what knowledge can be beneficially taught, and how, is ongoing. A Water Literacy Assessment Tool was developed and piloted for appropriateness in different regions. Cultural and environmentally relevant aspects of water-related knowledge, skills and dispositions to be developed were identified across societies.
