Blue Nile Water Institute At A Glance
The Blue Nile Water Institute (BNWI) was established in 2012 as a merge of the two former institutes, i.e. Water and Water Related Research Center, which started operations in 2011, and Blue Nile Water Institute, which was established a few years earlier.
BNWI operates under vice president office for research and community service. It undertakes both applied and basic research in the area of water resources utilization, development and management in the Blue Nile Basin. It provides training and undertakes consultancy and advisory services in water resources and the environment.
The main justifications for establishing the institute include geographical proximity of the University to the largest water bodies of the nation, i.e., Blue Nile River and Lake Tana, a serious lack of basic information in the water bodies and a constantly increasing demand for information from internal and external stakeholders.
