Dr Msigwa is a lecturer in hydrology and water resources engineering at the department of Water Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST), Tanzania. Msigwa is a hydrologist and water management expert, researching water resource management and climate-smart agricultural water management strategies using remote sensing technologies. She studied the efficient use of water for agriculture in the Pangani basin in Tanzania, uniquely incorporating seasonal land-use dynamics into water analysis models. Her unique approach is already being used to study agricultural water used across Africa and globally by PhD students at the Vrije University of Brussels in Belgium. She is a postdoctoral fellow with university of Pretoria with a FAR-LeaF project. With FAR-LeaF funding, she is developing a machine learning-based crop water stress mapping system using thermal infrared multi-/Hyperspectral remote sensing images and collected ground data in the Kikuletwa catchment. She is a winner of 2022 early career fellowship to extend her current research project of developing a water stress detection system. The OWSDfunding will add more weather stations for climate data collection and link the project with industry for sustainability. She is successful researcher equipped with advanced water resource management abilities needed to effectively propose solutions to global wicked challenges such as climate change. Through agricultural water management skills. Anna works with farmers in the rural areas to assess agricultural water use and best management practices. she is involved with the local government to conduct training for the farmers on the best climate change adaptation measures on water management
