Research summary

Margaret W. Gitau's research focuses on watershed hydrology, water quality, and the management of water resources under changing climate and land-use conditions. Her work often combines hydrologic modeling with field data to study issues such as phosphorus and sediment loss from agricultural land, streamflow and baseflow changes, and integrated food-energy-water systems in both US and international watersheds (including sites in Colombia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda).
