Discover how the OPAL Water Survey investigated water quality across the UK and learn about what invertebrate indicator species can tell us about pollution levels in water bodies. This approach can be used to investigate potential influences of urban areas on water quality and thus resilience to environmental changes.

Learn about how a nation-wide survey and citizen science approaches can be used to better understand the relationship between urbanisation, vegetation and invertebrate diversity through the lens of the Bugs Count survey implemented in the UK.

Learn about how surveys were used to explore wellbeing in two low-middle income country cities: Nakuru and Udon Thani. Discover city characteristics that improve wellbeing and promote long-term livability.

Discover how survey tools can be applied in different geographical and cultural contexts to explore health and wellbeing. This page will introduce a range of external surveys and demonstrate their use in urban environments through SEI case studies.

Discover how to apply a simple material flow analysis approach to track the transformation of waste streams into resource recovery products, such as biogas and solid fuel through this case study in Kampala, Uganda. The results of this approach can be used to encourage more sustainable urban sanitation and waste management systems.

Learn about EGESTABASE, an emerging online platform that aims to comprehensively map scientific evidence on the recovery of nutrients from human excreta and municipal wastewater for reuse in agriculture. The online platform helps you discover different innovative approaches and studies that exist, and use this evidence to inform decision-making processes.

Learn about how WASH Flows was used in Tupiza watershed, Bolivia; an area with limited access to water and sanitation services. Explore how the outputs allowed an evaluation the impact of potential WASH solutions.

Explore this analytical tool aiming to combine both watershed management and water, sanitation and hygiene goals into a single planning process, encompassing all water supply sources.

Explore how the EWI tool was applied in collaboration with IRC and local WASH authorities, who are developing and implementing a 2018–2030 strategic master plan for water and sanitation services in Banfora, Burkina Faso.

Learn about how the Empowerment in WASH Index tool was piloted in Asutifi North District in Ghana, and about the resulting recommendations, at district, community, and national levels, for strengthening the empowerment of women in WASH.
