WaterPath: a Future Scenario Toolkit for Waterborne Infectious Disease Modelling


  • Wageningen University (NL), Khulna University (BA), Makerere University (UG)
  • Funded by the Wellcome Trust Foundation


WaterPath will be an open-source modelling toolkit for quantifying and visualising the impact of climate change and socio-economic development on waterborne pathogens and AMR bacteria in surface water and consequent disease risk.

We envisage that the WaterPath Toolkit becomes the main point of reference for modelling population exposure to waterborne diseases in future climate scenario analysis. Targeting a diverse audience of users: scientists, modellers and data scientists, software engineers and policy makers, we are creating a unique community of practice that will participate in the conceptualization and testing of the Toolkit.
