Research Interest

1. Leakage Management in Urban Water Systems
2. Improving Wastewater Quality for Irrigation by modifying characteristics of Slow Sand Filters
3. Solid Waste Management and the Incidence of Malaria

Current Research/Project

Current research focuses of reviewing leakage detection modelling techniques to see their suitability for developing country water networks where there are not sensors and SCADA systems installed. This is sequel to previous work on developing an inverse optimization model for the detection of leakage in water networks. The essence is to assist field men to know the expanse of area within which to find a leak in a water network.
