WaSH: A Holistic Discipline 🌍 WaSH isn't just a sector; it's a multidisciplinary field that intersects various engineering disciplines and public health strategies. Mastering WaSH means understanding water engineering, sanitation engineering, public health, climate and environment, and solid waste management, all while addressing the pressing challenges of vector control, energy management, and project/program management. Key competencies for WaSH professionals include human rights, gender, protection, PSA, community mobilization, stakeholder engagement, and continuous learning to keep up with the latest technologies and methodologies. The result is a comprehensive framework applicable across humanitarian, development, and stabilization settings. In my previous tenure, I drafted several SOPs and guidelines on behalf of the Lebanese water sector: Solarization guidelines for boreholes, for instance, integrate renewable energy management, community engagement, and health standards, ensuring a safe and sustainable water supply. Here's how guidelines like the one I worked on ensure effective implementation: 1-Contextual analysis for relevancy and conflict sensitivity for a conflict-free implementation 2-Thorough stakeholder and community engagement 3-Technical soundness and safety measures, focusing on gender and children. 4-Water management, quality assessments, and community training A holistic approach to WaSH opens doors to new opportunities, improves quality of life, and provides a path toward more sustainable and impactful solutions. #WaSH #WaterSanitation #HumanitarianImpact #SustainableDevelopment

A standout for Queensland’s urban water sector was in the June budget was the announcement of the $2.6M Urban Water Risk Assessment to better understand drinking water and water security risks across our remote and regional communities. Stage 1 of the risk assessment is well underway, and the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water, with support from Queensland Health, the Department of Environment and Science, and the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning, has been actively engaging with the urban water sector to ensure that the challenges are captured and documented in a way that we can prioritise future needs. This is a great initiative and the Queensland Water Directorate (qldwater) has been pleased to assist in connecting the sector's brains trust to those undertaking the assessment. We are in an unprecedented period where there is genuine focus on the urban water sector at both state and federal levels. We are however, also at a time where we are seeing a range of wicked problems impact the sector from acute workforce and skills shortages, climate impacts through to the need for critical (but costly) infrastructure renewal. At a meeting this week with Hon Glenn Butcher MP, Minister for Regional Development and Manufacturing and Minister for Water, we were pleased to hear the ongoing commitment of the government to investigating and developing workable, timely solutions for the sector.
