Cool paper comparing household water security, emotional well-being and instrument-measured water access in Afar, Ethiopia by @Cosmii and @IRC_Ethiopia @IRCWASH @MCGE_CU sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The last paper of my PhD is out! Read "Surveyed from Afar: Household water security, emotional well-being, and the reliability of water supply in the Ethiopian lowlands" authors.elsevier.com/c/1f-eQ574Px5z…

Great news @Sypticus and @spaceandtime!

@EmilyJBedell asking the hard research questions

I'm defending my dissertation Tuesday, March 8th! My presentation is titled The Worth of Water: Evaluating Interventions to Achieve Financially & Operationally Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Systems in Low-Income Settings. All are welcome, see the zoom link! #theworthofwater

Turn Up the Dial! uses a model calibrated to functionality data that you can explore in this interface exchange.iseesystems.com/public/alibey/…

New article out today in the Journal of Environmental Engineering! With @SWSpartnership. About simulating financing for rural water maintenance with system dynamics modeling - plus a model user interface to explore doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)… #wash #ruralwater

@dan4wash2021 @joshswaterjobs The @engineer4change fellowship has a water and sanitation track! Applications are due Jan 31st. bit.ly/3fio26v

@dan4wash2021 Thanks! I need to check if the agricultural water literature has more on pastoralism and water security, I know biosand filters have applications there too (especially because of the space requirements)

@dan4wash2021 This is pretty much the only publication I found either! I'm working with some members of this team in the same region on the next iteration, focusing more on water security impacts of reliable borehole water for pastoralists

Honestly more current #WASH and #WASHfinancing research needs to be on Wikipedia and other open-source websites - how else do our politicians first learn about these topics? Maybe make adding literature reviews to Wikipedia a graduation req?

On the SDG 6 wikipedia page no less! en.wikipedia.org/?curid=55820463

Thanks @altmetric! Really cool that people have been adding my research to Wikipedia. #whopaysforwater

@EmilyJBedell I took 3 tests 3 days apart each since I also had a cold - so far all negative but I've been staying home just in case! Even though I'm boosted. Crazy stuff.

@dan4wash2021 WASH for Pastoralists! There isn't much out there.

Change from within is definitely needed before I start job searching hint hint theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@AnnMadoniaCasey Wow this is great, thank you!

I was trying to think of a catchy shorter title for my dissertation and the old quote that goes something like “we only know the worth of water when the well is dry” seemed like a good one until I googled it and MATT DAMON HAS A BOOK CALLED THE WORTH OF WATER 😰🤒

It looks like it sold poorly. Still... any chance enough people would read my dissertation that I can show up on google search above Matt Damon? I promise I know more about the topic. Still might name it that!
