PhD Research Project: Challenges of sustainable wastewater management in Pakistan - A case study of Faisalabad

The project investigates challenges for sustainable wastewater management in Faisalabad, Pakistan, which is located in a semiarid region with increasing water scarcity. In Faisalabad, industrial development and rapid urbanization have triggered intensive pumping as well as untreated dumping and reuse of untreated wastewater, posing threats to human and environmental health. The study examines linkages between wastewater management and human and environmental health and explores institutional conditions governing the management of wastewater to develop better policies.
