The 2020 Water and Health: Science, Policy and Practice conference, presented by University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, will feature a session about the Safe Water Optimization Tool.

Syed Imran Ali, Dahdaleh Institute Research Fellow, will present Safe Water Optimization Tool: Water Quality Data Analytics for Ensuring Household Water Safety in Refugee Camps and Other Humanitarian Settings under the theme Monitoring + Evaluation.

Since its founding in 2009, the goal of the Water Institute at UNC has been to inform the way the world works on water, sanitation and hygiene issues by generating the evidence that drives improvements in both practice and policy. Through this period, the Water Institute has remained steadfast in its commitment to improving public health by achieving universal access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) services that are safe, affordable and sustainable – particularly for the most marginalized. The annual UNC Water and Health Conference is intended to advance these goals by creating a space where policymakers, practitioners and researchers can gather to review the evidence, interrogate the science and improve old and develop new approaches to expanding WaSH access.
