Paul Pavelic is Senior Researcher at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and is also an Associate Professor with Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia by affiliation. Paul has led or participated in many interdisciplinary studies in Africa and Asia. His areas of expertise include groundwater assessment and management, conjunctive water use, urban hydrology and water reuse, agricultural water management and managed aquifer recharge. Karen G. Villholth is Director of Water Cycle Innovation (Pty) Ltd, South Africa. She has more than 30 years of experience in research for development. She worked for the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) for 13 years in Asia and Africa and chaired the Groundwater Solutions Initiative for Policy and Practice (GRIPP) for more than 5 years. Her areas of expertise include transboundary waters, groundwater and food security, groundwater resources assessment and integrated modelling, climate change and groundwater, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, Groundwater-Based Natural Infrastructure (GBNI), groundwater protection, 'Whole of the Water Cycle' management, and governance. Shilp Verma is Senior Researcher, Water-Energy-Food Policies with the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), India. An alumnus of the University of Delhi, the Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA) and UNESCO-IHE, Institute for Water Education, Delft, Netherlands, Shilp has more than 20 years of experience in the water, energy, agriculture and rural livelihoods domain. In his current role, he leads the IWMI-Tata Water Policy Program in India besides providing leadership to IWMI's work on sustainable resource management and economic growth in Asia and Africa. His research covers a range of themes relevant for smallholder farming and water security in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
