Why the name WODA?

Why do we use WODA as our website URL?

In short, my background is Polish, and “Woda” is Polish for water. Plus it’s easier to spell out than “surface water” (and it’s how I told my kids they’ll need to pronounce “water” here in Australia if they want to be understood through their American accents).

So as some have asked, WODA doesn’t actually stand for anything, though I’m happy to take suggestions (Water Opportunities Demand Action, We Offer Dam Assessments, etc.?) But now you know at least one word in Polish that I hope you’ll remember! 🙂
