Prof. Hans C. Komakech is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Materials, Energy, Water and Environmental Sciences (MEWES) and the Centre Leader of WISE – Futures African Centre of Excellence. With a background in Civil Engineering, Water Resources Management and Wastes Engineering, Hans studies a variety of water and sanitation issues using an interdisciplinary approach and through mixed methods. His recent research projects focus on groundwater use in urban informal areas, farmer-led irrigation development, agricultural water management, and surface and groundwater governance. Hans’s earlier work focused on the emergence of collective action and local water sharing arrangements; and discussed how the interface between customary and formal rules shapes the dynamics of age-old community-based water systems. Hans past research projects include Transformation to Groundwater Sustainability project (www.t2sgroundwater.org), which studies grassroots initiatives for groundwater governance, and a variety of studies on farmer-led irrigation development in Tanzania (www.safi-research.org), Mozambique, Uganda, and Rwanda. Current projects focus on the development of city-wide inclusive sanitation plans for five small towns in the southern part of Tanzania under the USAID funded project - MUM: Maji Na Usafi Wa Mazingira. |
