About this listen
In conversation with Julia Bauer on the 6th Sustainable Development Goal i.e. Clean Water and Sanitation. Julia started out as a hydrogeologist and modelled groundwater quality under an open dumping site. She went on to study Integrated Water Management and WASH with the International Water Centre in Brisbane, Australia. She continued her career in the international development sector working with the GIZ etc. and then moved to local, small NGOs, helping them in their efforts to get financial support for their locally adapted approaches. She has worked in South-East Asia, Nepal - Namibia and Tanzania. She worked on various projects with engineers without borders and small business schemes to empower local efforts, safeguard culturally unique approaches and protect local markets. She is currently working for TAUW, an Environmental Engineering Consultancy, on groundwater protection and climate change adaptation.
In this episode of DevDive, we discuss Julia's experiences in various countries and contexts, balancing localisation with this global goal, difference in approach taken by international organisations and local NGOs, the urgent need for groundwater protection, and what each of us can do to that effect.
