Expressions of interest from individuals or organisations would be welcome, for one or both of the books. WWF has an ongoing collaboration with GIWP (the strategic planning arm of China's Ministry of Water Resources) to explore and jointly develop strategic guidelines on key aspects of water management. The main outputs of the collaboration have been a series of books, published through UNESCO, which have formed the basis for guidelines that GIWP issues to water managers across China. WWF also uses the books to inform its work to influence water management across the globe. The book series is available to download at [wwf.org.uk](https://www.wwf.org.uk/strategic-water-management).
