Springer Nature · 2026
In her chapter, "Drinking Water Status Around the World and Its Effect on Health," Hsu discusses the Earth's water resources, which are found in a variety of settings. In her chapter, "Waterless and Low-Water Sanitation Technologies that Improve Quality of Life and Conserve Water Resources," she shares her experience with sanitation challenges in the Global South and how that has reinforced the value of waterless and low-water sanitation technologies that are suitable for scaling around the world.
From Summer 2026 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
