Three articles in the March 2020 edition of the internal Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) newsletter on water and sanitation were written or co-written by two Dahdaleh Institute members.
Dr. Syed Imran Ali, Global Health and Humanitarianism Research Fellow, and Matt Arnold, Hydrogeologist and Water Resource Specialist, work together on the Safe Water Optimization Tool and on Chemical Water Quality & Malnourished Child Health.
Dr. Ali published Safe Water Optimization Tool (SWOT): Ensuring Water Safety by Leveraging Routine Water Quality Data, and Arnold published Field trials of the Safe Water Optimisation Tool (SWOT). Together with Frederick Liesner and Jean-Francois Fesselet, both of MSF, Ali and Arnold also published Characterization of Disinfection By-Products Levels at an Emergency Surface Water Treatment Plant in a Refugee Settlement in Northern Uganda.
