Description

As a hydrologist, Dr. Jovanelly has traveled the globe for more than a decade testing water quality on major river and surface water systems while asking the question, “What is the best way to promote clean water for all?” Through her qualitative and quantitative data collection it has become apparent that solving any water crisis must start with the understanding of human perceptions towards the environments in which they live and their value systems. Her global water quality data show that human connect to water differs by religious following, and intrinsic or instrumental ethos.00
