This will contribute to better decision-making in water management.<\/p>\n<p>The key messages of the video are that citizen engagement builds trust and a sense of community, and it brings well-informed solutions and support.<\/p>\n<p>Engage with us at: <br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gwp.org\/en\/GWP-CEE\/\">http:\/\/www.gwp.org\/en\/GWP-CEE\/<\/a><br>Twitter: <a
