Six new three-year research projects across Canada were launched by Global Water Futures (GWF), a University of Saskatchewan-led research program. The total cost of the entire project is $1.63 million.

The projects are conducted in the aim to research and aid in water governance, food security, water security, climate change as well as human and ecosystem health in Indigenous communities.

OProjects were jointly identified between Indigenous community representatives and GWF scientists, and each project is led by both teams.
