The ESHH lab tackles issues around access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities in the Global South through a research portfolio covering:
- Drinking water accessibility and quality
- Urban service planning
- Faecal sludge treatment and reuse
- Menstrual hygiene management
The overarching aim of our WASH research is to promote access to safe and sustainable water and sanitation infrastructure in low and middle income countries in order to protect public and environmental health.
