Project SPRINGS
Project
Overview
SPRINGS (Supporting Policy Regulations and Interventions to Negate aggravated Global diarrheal disease due to future climate Shocks) is investigating the interplay between shifting weather patterns, environmental changes, and the spread of diarrheal pathogens. By combining pathogen data with climate projections, they seek to enhance understanding of the factors influencing diarrheal spread and to predict future scenarios. Ultimately, SPRINGS aims to facilitate informed decision-making and the implementation of targeted interventions to reduce the burden of diarrheal diseases in the face of climate change.
The project comprises 15 partners in Europe, Africa and the USA.

SPRINGS focuses on studying microbial water quality and quantity, using surveillance and modelling to understand how climate impacts health. SPRINGS studies interactions between climate and human-ecological systems to assess risks like flooding and drought on waterborne diseases. The work will inform improved surveillance and risk assessment tools.
