This was followed by a workshop on ‘Peri-urban water conflicts: Perspectives and Issue of Water justice in South Asia’ on 24th and 25th May 2016 that conceptualized under the aegis of International Waters Network partnership project. The main objective was to deliberate, discuss, and build capacity around perspectives of water justice in the context of peri-urban South Asia.

The SAWAS students benefited to understand the conceptual understanding on peri-urban water security, water injustice and helped to build their capacity as future water professionals.
