🌠As members of the @UniversityLeeds, we were excited to receive this plaque on its behalf. It has been a pleasure to be part of the @GCRFWaterHub. We look forward to continuing collaborations with our colleagues in the UK, Mal., Ind., Eth. & Col.

All the best and thank you all!

GCRF Water Security and Sustainable Development Hub Assembly, Delhi (India). Our last meeting just ended, with wonderful work from all collaboratories in Colombia, Ethiopia, India and Malaysia. The Leeds Team is very grateful for the opportunity to work in real world challenges.

Engaging and lively session showcasing our interactive map on Southeast Asia region’s water security challenges and governance mapping, while mingling around fellow Hub colleagues with laughters and joy. So much fun! @GCRFWaterHub @NUMedMalaysia

[BioResource Systems Research Group @BioResLeeds]

Hello Delhi!!! Here we go. Our research group will participate in the GCRF Water Security and Sustainable Development Hub Assembly, organised by our colleagues from @iitdelhi (22-27 Oct-2023). Stay tune. @GCRFWaterHub @wateratleeds @LeedsUniEng

Hands on experience while taking training as first alders at @UniversityLeeds by colleagues from the School of Civil Engineering.

[BioResource Systems Research Group @BioResLeeds]

Great fun training young engineering students in the lab at State University of Malang (Indonesia) and then conducting water quality surveys in out pilot system treating fish pond effluent using Duckweed ponds. Supported by @GCRFWaterHub, @wateratleeds, @WUNetwork

Exciting times for the microalgae team. Overexpression of Phosphorus Starvation Response 1 TF in C. Reinhardtii caused luxury in-cell P accumulation even under no previous P deprivation conditions.

This is big news for the venture of P recovery from wastewater using microalgae!

The first paper from my PhD work is finally out!!
Thanks to co-authors @payammehrshahi @scienceisnotfun and @homesmith9, co-1st authors Dr. Lili Chu and Dr. Stephen Slocombe and my supervisors Prof. Alison Baker and Dr. Miller Alonso Camargo Valero.

2/2 #MUISKAUpdate

[BioResource Systems Research Group @BioResLeeds]

Step 1: By social cartography, participants identified water uses. Also, they listed problems arising from those uses. Finally, they created a network of hazards and consequences related to water security at Cajibío municipality. #MUISKAUpdate 2/5

[BioResource Systems Research Group @BioResLeeds]

💧Continuing with the regular #MUISKAUpdate

Step 2: Participants classified water-security problems according to four scales and five dimensions. Problems are more frequent at community scale and related to infrastructure, ecosystem services, and culture, justice and peace. 1/2

[BioResource Systems Research Group @BioResLeeds]

���🏽‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️Two of our researchers, @AngelaBayonaV & Carolina Montoya Pachongo, are co-leading the development of the MUISKA approach. By participatory research, they want to make MUISKA a useful tool for relevant parties to decide about water security in their territory. @GCRFWaterHub

[BioResource Systems Research Group @BioResLeeds]

As part of the @GCRFWaterHub , Two researchers from our group are collaborating to co-create MUISKA through 18 workshops with relevant parties. These activities develop each of the six steps of MUISKA. #MUISKAUpdate 1/5

🚧❤️‍🩹👩🏻‍⚕️💊 As ultimate consequences, they considered negative effects on human health, deterioration of the quality of the water supply service, and conflicts between people. #MUISKAUpdate 4/5
