Today, there is an urgent need to promote innovative, transdisciplinary, and holistic perspectives to overcome unduly narrow technical approaches that have proven to be inadequate responses to the challenges of global water crises. In this context, museums play a crucial role in paving the way for paradigm change and building a 'new water culture'. Together, museums can foster stronger connections with the diverse 'water worlds' that consumer societies tend to forget and obliterate. WAMU-NET aims to consolidate cooperation with these institutions worldwide.
