Regional-scale interactions between groundwater and surface water under changing aridity: evidence from the River Awash Basin, Ethiopia
This article characterises regional-scale surface water–groundwater interactions in the River Awash Basin (110 000 km2) of Ethiopia.
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.
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.
REACH Global Strategy 2020-2024
REACH’s global research and impact strategy recognises our progress to date, and provides a roadmap for improving water security for 10 million people by 2024.
Risky responsibilities for rural drinking water institutions: The case of unregulated self-supply in Bangladesh
By considering how infrastructure, information, and institutional systems evolved in Bangladesh, this article identifies the unintentional consequences of reallocating management responsibility for rural water services away from government agencies towards individuals and households.
From data to decisions: Water quality monitoring programs in sub-Saharan Africa
This study describes and assesses the formal and informal systems used by institutions with regulatory requirements for testing drinking water quality in six sub-Saharan African countries to organize, analyze, and transmit information about drinking water quality.
From data to decisions: Water quality monitoring programs in Kenya
This study describes and assesses the formal and informal systems used by institutions with regulatory requirements for testing drinking water quality in six sub-Saharan African countries to organize, analyze, and transmit information about drinking water quality.
Tryptophan-like fluorescence as a high-level screening tool for detecting microbial contamination in drinking water
A nine-month water quality monitoring programme was conducted in rural Malawi to assess the suitability of tryptophan-like fluorescence (TLF), an emerging method for rapidly detecting microbial contamination, as a drinking water quality monitoring tool.
