CL Moe
World Water Week (August 2017)
At the 2017 World Water Week conference in Stockholm, Sweden, Dr. Christine Moe participated in a presentation that examined the intersection of urban sanitation and public health. Dr. Moe explained the rationale, design, and results of the SaniPath Tool and how public health principles are incorporated to assess risk of exposure to fecal contamination in urban low-income communities. The presentation discussed the value of incorporating public health principles in sanitation tools and how results can be used to influence policy. This event covered “solid and liquid fecal wastes, in sewered and unsewered settings” and aimed to focus on how pathogen flow factors could be incorporated into sanitation action and thinking.
