Prof. Mookherjee wins grant from Asia Development Bank to study groundwater policies in India
The Asian Development Bank is supporting Prof. Mookherjee and the BU IED to gather ground-level data from ecological and household surveys from villages in India. The goal is to develop innovative strategies for designing and implementing policies, such as watershed restoration projects, that protect vulnerable communities in the Asia-Pacific region from the depletion of local groundwater and forest reserves. The findings will be included in a policy brief outlining key lessons for policy makers in the pertinent regions.
