Staying Afloat: Community Responses to Water Management
The Netherlands, Italy, Vietnam, Tuvalu, Mexico
My project explores connections between community, policy, and science in countries that are working to solve water-related crises. Each community I will visit functions as an ecosystem that can easily be disrupted by the mismanagement of water. What water management practices are needed for communities to stay cohesive and resilient? This project ties together my personal and scientific background with the daily reality of climate change.
