Database of applied research projects
GARNET, the Global Applied Research Network, maintains a database of
applied research projects in the water and sanitation sector. The
projects are either ongoing or recently completed. The database is fully
available online at http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/cv/wedc/garnet/dbase.html, and can be searched in various ways, for example
by subject, keyword, or location. The database currently lists over 120
projects, a selection of which can be found on the research profile
page: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/cv/wedc/garnet/allacse.html.
The projects have titles such as 'Gender issues in the management of
water projects', 'Practical guidance on research dissemination strategies', and 'Modelling rainwater
harvesting systems'.
The aim of GARNET is to make it easier for
researchers working in the water and sanitation sector throughout the
world to share their findings with each other. It does this through
informal, low-cost and decentralized networking links. Above all, the
network is:
- Global. It links research workers throughout the world,
although its main focus is developing countries.
- Concerned with
applied research that is, or can be, applied for the benefit of
developing countries.
- Concerned with all aspects of specific topics in
the sector. 'All aspects' includes technology, management, social
issues, and issues of health.
- Free to anyone who wishes to join.
