TheWaterChannel was launched at the WordWaterForum in 2009 in Istanbul as a partnership of MetaMeta Communications, Nymphaea, UNESCO-IHE, and Cap-Net. The idea was to support education and awareness in water by making video material available that is often scattered and easily lost. We wanted to 'touch' our visitors and to help inspire them to work towards a world of better water management. The first year exceeded our expectation in terms of uptake and content! Joint projects were carried out with a wide variety of organizations and new partners joined in.

In 2011 TheWaterChannel entered a new phase: TheNextWave. Our vision is to become an important force for change in water management by making it possible to provide fast learning, be an open source for practical and inspiring learning, and to bring water on many unexpected agenda's! We will expand on all fronts: more videos, more side activities, and more real world presence!

We invite all of you to join us through uploading videos, becoming friends or partners, joining discussion and sharing ideas on TheWaterPlaza!
