A robot-assisted pipeline to rapidly scan 1.7 million historical aerial photographs Open
During the 20th Century, aerial surveys captured hundreds of millions of high-resolution photographs of the earth's surface. These images, the precursors to modern satellite imagery, represent an extraordinary visual record of the environm…

Training caretakers to clean community wells is a highly cost-effective way to reduce exposure to coliform bacteria Open
Existing strategies for improving global access to safe drinking water have met only limited success. We consider an unglamorous and often neglected dimension of drinking water infrastructure provision: cleaning. We randomly assigned caret…

Can community deep tubewells provide safe drinking water? Evidence from a randomized experiment in rural Bangladesh Open
Meeting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 requires countries to ensure that their citizens have access to sources of drinking water that are free from both fecal and priority chemical pollutants. This presents a major policy challenge f…

How to clean a tubewell: the effectiveness of three approaches in reducing coliform bacteria Open
Access to safe drinking water in rural Bangladesh remains a perpetual challenge. Most households are exposed to either arsenic or faecal bacteria in their primary source of drinking water, usually a tubewell. Improving tubewell cleaning an…
