David Meyer

David Meyer is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering and in the Centre for Global Engineering. His research focuses on SocioHydraulics – how the physics of water networks and sewers inequitably affect the humans who rely on these essential infrastructures. Under SDG 6.1 “safely managed water” must be “available when needed”, but over 1 billion people rely on water pipe networks that supply water for only a few hours per day or per week. In support of SDG 6.1, Professor Meyer’s research group invents new ways of measuring, modelling, regulating, benchmarking, and improving water availability in intermittent water networks.
