Predictions to inform water resources management

Predictions of water availability are needed to inform policy making, but having sufficient data often poses a challenge. Annalise has developed statistical approaches to inform understanding of water availability in Ethiopia and the United States, which could be adapted and used more broadly.

Access to safe water

Working with public health experts, epidemiologists, and economists, Annalise has conducted research on access to safe and affordable drinking water, household decision-making, use of hand sanitizer, and transmission of diarrheal disease.
