Sayali Pawar

I am a Hydronation PhD Scholar with the University of Dundee and the James Hutton Institute, Scotland. My PhD focusses on relating past drought periods to observed water quality in drinking water supply catchments (chemical and biological status) to examine empirical evidence of drought impacts in Scotland in terms of water quantity, quality and ecosystem resilience, with a special focus on private water supplies and users. I hold a BSc in Environmental Science from Fergusson College, Pune, India and an MSc in Geographical Information Systems and Climate Change from Swansea University, Wales, UK.

Prior to starting my PhD, I completed a Research Assistant Position at the Freshwater Interdisciplinary Research and Engagement Lab at Swansea University where I was leading scientific research to understand the impacts of climate change and built infrastructure on river systems and urban environments globally.
