Research theme
African low‐level jets and their importance for water vapor transport and rainfall
This research contributes to our understanding of possible future changes to African rainfall, by assessing how water vapour travels from the Indian Ocean into the African interior.
Impacts of Climate Change and Population Growth on River Nutrient Loads in a Data Scarce Region: The Upper Awash River (Ethiopia)
This research proposes a model-based approach, using both global datasets and local data to build an evaluation of the potential impact of climate changes and population growth, using Ethiopia’s upper Awash Basin as a case study. The authors verify the efficiency of mitigation measures to curb river water pollution.
The utility of Escherichia coli as a contamination indicator for rural drinking water: Evidence from whole genome sequencing
In this study used whole genome sequencing to investigate the links between E. coli and recent faecal contamination in drinking water.
Institutional pluralism and water user behavior in rural Africa
This research examines water user behavior in the face of institutional change brought about by a professional service provider maintaining rural water infrastructure in Kenya.
Citizen science in community-based watershed management: An institutional analysis in Ethiopia
This study examines the existing institutional arrangements for hydrometeorological monitoring and the practices followed by the Basin Development Authority and the National Meteorology Agency in Ethiopia.
From data to decisions: understanding information flows within regulatory water quality monitoring programs
This study evaluates the methods used to organize, analyze, and transmit drinking water quality data among 26 water supplier or surveillance institutions and two regulatory agencies in six countries of sub-Saharan Africa.
Women’s vulnerability to climate-related risks to household water security in Centre-East, Burkina Faso
This study assesses how vulnerabilities to climate-related risks to household water security are produced and vary among women in the Centre-East region, Burkina Faso, as well as their capacities to respond.
Contrasting development trajectories for coastal Bangladesh to the end of century
This research applies an integrated assessment model to the south-west coastal zone of Bangladesh to explore the outcomes of four contrasting and plausible development trajectories under different climate and socio-economic scenarios.
Redistributing risk management responsibilities to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for safely-managed drinking water in rural Bangladesh [English and Bangla versions]
This policy paper provides a summary of the policy context and recommendations to recognize the increased risks facing an unregulated and unmonitored self-supply rural water service model in Bangladesh.
