Stanford's Program on Water, Health and Development is working to improve the health and well-being of communities by creating the knowledge, skills and solutions needed to support effective management of water and wastes, and to ensure sustained, equitable access to water supply and sanitation services. We take an interdisciplinary approach partnering with researchers and organizations whose interests span water supply, water quality, sanitation, hygiene, wastewater re-use, health, energy, urbanization and food production.
