Built-environment research in water-resilience policy
The OECD’s assessment of water scarcity in the Paris metropolitan area draws on research co-authored by Professor Amir when considering rainwater harvesting. The report uses the review in its discussion of alternative water supplies and the potential contribution of household-scale collection to drought resilience.
From buildings to metropolitan adaptation
The cited review, “State of the art of rainwater harvesting systems towards promoting green built environments: a review,” was written by Ali Ghaffarianhoseini, John Tookey, Amir, Safiah Muhammad Yusoff and Norhaslina Hassan. Its inclusion connects research on greener buildings with metropolitan water-management decisions.
