About Kamal Alsharif

I am a water scientist interested in interdisciplinary water resources policy and watershed management, sustainable domestic water policy, water scarcity and hydropolitics, urban water management, and establishing environmental benchmarks by using Data Envelopment Analysis. I study water on different spatial and temporal scales. More specifically, storm water management, lawn irrigation policy, non-point sources pollution and social indicators, decision support systems, policy evaluation effectiveness, and climate change/natural hazardous impact on water.
