Within the framework of monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP) will launch its Water Information Network System (WINS) on 31 January 2017 at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France. The objective of the UNESCO-IHP WINS is to provide UNESCO member States with an open source, open access web-based platform aiming at becoming a global reference for decision makers and stakeholders on water-related issues at all levels. In particular, WINS will support the design and implementation of operations, management, and decision making for the sound governance of water resources. UNESCO-IHP WINS consists of three components providing: Georeferenced data (GIS); a platform for inter-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing among water-related stakeholders; and a platform for water-related stakeholders to build social networks and interrelations.
