Research projects of IWMI


Project ongoing since: 2005 • IWMI (International Water Management Institute)

Purpose

Research focuses on the key water challenges poor agricultural communities face - issues that affect food production, people’s livelihoods and health, as well as the integrity of the environmental services.

Activities

WMI’s research focuses on the key water challenges poor agricultural communities face - issues that affect food production, people’s livelihoods and health, as well as the integrity of the environmental services on which they depend. Research thus examines the “water-food-environment nexus”, adopting a multi-disciplinary approach and balancing efficiency and productivity objectives with equity and sustainability concerns.

The issue pages on the website of IWMI describe some of their sub-programs. They also link to projects, publications, videos and presentations. These two sub-program pages from IWMI describe research in the field of sustainable sanitation:

- Resource Recovery and Reuse program. Project example: Developing fortified excreta pellets for use in agriculture (in Ghana)
- Safe Wastewater Use program. Project example: Capacity Development Project on the Safe Use of Wastewater in Agriculture (November 2011 to May 2013)
