The Council has over 300 active members from 60 countries. It aims to promote awareness, build political commitment and trigger action on critical water issues, notably through the World Water Forums which are held every three years. The WWC has a Working Group on Transboundary Governance which is tasked with preparing a series of perspective papers documenting current practices, progress and prospects in transboundary water management and wider regional co-operation, including how such practises contribute to economic growth, safeguard the environment and strengthen regional security.
