Anya Wahal

I am a researcher committed to harnessing research to inform policy and uplift marginalized communities. More specifically, I am interested in working at the intersection of water and policy, and in the past, have been involved with several water-related research projects. My thesis was on water shortages in the Colorado River Basin in Arizona and their impacts on farmers. I have also researched India-China water diplomacy with Professor Mark Giordano, and for my Fulbright-Nehru fellowship, I studied water access and equity in low-income communities in Delhi, India. Most recently, I am working on an irrigation pricing water project as well as a project on California's preparedness for sea level rise.
