PhD Poster - 26 March 2010
Abstract: In the framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) one of the targets is to halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. There is a lack of understanding about how and where the governmental and international cooperation efforts should be put in order to improve the access level to Water Supply and Sanitation services (WSS). The final objective of this PhD is to better understand the relationships and key variables involved in an improved WSS management.
Objective
Find spatial-temporal trends and patterns between environmental, governance and human pressure variables that affect the level of WSS and thus, the human development of a country.
