Journal article / This study analyses water access and poverty linkages in Bolivia's Tupiza River Basin.

Journal article / This study demonstrates how incorporating social factors into water modelling can lead to a more equitable water supply.

Other publication / This chapter features a conversation with SEI researchers who work to keep gender central in their environment-related studies and policy engagement.

SEI working paper / This paper describes the development of poverty-related indicators in SEI's Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) tool.

SEI brief / This discussion brief outlines how the SEI US Centre can encourage the participation of women in capacity-building activities.

Other publication / This document draws on SEI experience with WEAP and LEAP to provide guidance for mainstreaming gender and social equity issues into modelling studies

Feature / SEI Senior Scientist Laura Forni explains why gender and income inform inequities in access to irrigation water in a rural Cambodian watershed.

Perspective / This World Water Day, six researchers share insights on the value of water and lessons learned on how to equitably manage and protect this valuable resource.

Perspective / Clean, accessible water is a human right, and universal access is essential to global health. Effective water planning can help us get there.

Perspective / Preliminary findings suggest poverty and gender affect access to water for the home, agriculture and fishing.

Feature / Farmers in Bolivia are struggling as their water supply becomes increasingly unreliable. Could better models lead to policies that help the most vulnerable?

Feature / SEI researchers take a first step toward water analysis that considers inequality, by developing poverty-related indicators in WEAP.
