Research Themes

The research activities performed by the WIT staff are geared towards leveraging technology and gaining new understandings of human water interactions with a focus on

  • Innovations for increasing the efficiency of agricultural water usage
  • Understanding pathways of water quality degradation
  • Protection against hydro-disasters and preparations against climate shocks
  • Enabling equitable access of water for all using information collection and dissemination
  • System-level understanding of technology interventions and complex water-land-air interactions
