Bio & Overview

Garrick Louis' research goal is to assure safe, reliable, and affordable sanitation services to underserved communities worldwide. These services consist of drinking water, wastewater and sewage treatment, and solid waste management. The work develops methods for needs assessment, performance evaluation/gap analysis, and strategic resource allocation for sustainable sanitation service capacity assurance and disseminates examples of best practice in these methods. The work is pursued through a consortium of collaborators from the service industries, government agencies, grassroots organizations and funding agencies. It is supported by National Science Foundation grant # 9984318.
