Bangalore Water Solution Laboratory in Divecha Centre is a collaborative forum to address water-sector challenges in India, bridge the gap between science, policy and governance, and between knowledge and practice. The Lab currently has eight staff members.

The central goal of the Water Solutions Lab (WSL) is to overcome these barriers and establish a framework to facilitate the process of innovation in water-related issues. WSL integrates problems with solutions towards identifying a feasible set of solutions that address the root causes of the problem at the local level.

Currently, a co-design process is underway to establish such a Water Solutions Lab knowledge hub based at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. It is a collaborative forum for addressing water-sector challenges in India, with emphasis on challenges facing the city of Bangalore. The Solutions Lab will seek to increase access to effective solution providers in the water sector. Such a process of establishing Water Solutions Lab is also currently underway in other countries.
