My research investigates community water literacy, or community water knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, as a tool within drought management. In particular, I specialize in water literacy during times of extreme drought or climate shocks, and how experiential gains in water literacy can be leveraged and maintained. I have researched this through case studies in Cape Town, South Africa, and Colorado, USA.
