ABOUT WATER ACADEMY SRD
Water Academy SRD – for Sustainable and Responsible Development – is born from a project that is as ambitious as it is to offer an inclusive opportunity for research, high education, qualified teaching and dissemination, through which to disseminate a new Water Culture internationally.“We are made of time and water, for this reason we are aware of the absolute value of water resources indispensable to any form of life on earth, and never as irresponsibly risked today.
With this initiative we intend to offer hic et nunc our contribution.
We firmly believe that everyone’s support is needed to reflect and reflect upon the adoption of new development models that are genuinely sustainable. “Because water, as it is known since classic antiquity, is the fundamental element that guarantees and regulates biological life on our planet, and only through its widespread access, its balanced and efficient management and its growing protection, allows the attainment of the minimum standards of living in our communities, below every latitude.Born in Switzerland by a project of Alessandro Leto, joined by important Founding Members, Water Academy SRD is deliberately structured in a flexible way, precisely to respond readily to the complex stresses that come from the world of high education, which from a different point of view can be attributed to the vast audience of our beneficiaries: businesses, governments, universities, research centers, NGOs, multilateral organizations. To carry out its activities, Water Academy SRD has the following organs:
- Board of Directors:
- President Dr. Carlo Donati
- V.President Dr. Gabriele Corte
- Adviser Prof. Alessandro Leto
- General Directorate for strategic determination, development, academic and research activities, co-ordination of publishing initiatives, convention and dissemination activities:

And two specific associations set up to divulge and root, amongst the Stake Holders of reference, the flow of qualified information that is generated, the dissemination of their didactic and pedagogical activity and the benefits of their research activity:
