Prof Anja du Plessis is an Associate Professor and NRF Y2 rated researcher, specializing in water resource management. Her research is focused upon establishing and evaluating the current state of water resources in terms of availability and quality, identification of water risks and problems, water, sanitation and hygiene service delivery, viable opportunities as well as water governance and water resource management within different contexts. The fundamental part of her continued research is the analyses of water quality and availability, review of water governance and water management decisions and practices, establishment of risks and providing suitable recommendations and/or multidisciplinary strategies to improve and ensure informed decision-making. Lastly, her continued research ultimately aims to highlight the frequency and/or magnitude of growing water crises and contribute by suggesting possible interventions for growing water crises and predicaments, for these crises or predicaments to be transformed into solvable problems, ensuring future water security.
