Co-Go combines the input of science (creating a solid basis for the agreement between diverse opinions), technology (smart city information, communication, and collaboration platforms) and communities (collaborative governance). By unifying these resources, Co-Go facilitates projects that provide the needed action to solve water challenges related to climate change and the rapid rate of urbanisation.

Its collaborative governance model helps mitigate challenges that impact on urban and ecological environments in water management areas so that thriving waterscapes can sustain communities with freshwater and crisis-proof their economic activities.
