Daniel, D. (author), Djohan, Dennis (author), Machairas, Ilias (author), Pande, S. (author), Arifin, Arifin (author), Djono, Trimo Pamudji Al (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)Background: There is increasing recognition of the complexity underlying WASH conditions in developing countries. This article explores the complexity by assessing the vulnerability of a specific area to poor WASH conditions using a qualitative approach. Methods: We present our findings for the district of East Sumba in Indonesia. This area...journal article 2021

Daniel, D. (author), Iswarani, Widya Prihesti (author), Pande, S. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)Assessing water quality and identifying the potential source of contamination, by Sanitary inspections (SI), are essential to improve household drinking water quality. However, no study link the water quality at a point of use (POU), household level or point of collection (POC), and associated SI data in a medium resource setting using a...journal article 2020

Kok, D.D. (author), Pande, S. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Ortigara, Angela R.C. (author), Savenije, Hubert (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author)Phosphorus is a nutrient necessary for the development of crops and is thus commonly applied as fertilizer to sustain agricultural production. It occurs naturally, in indefinite quantities of uncertain quality in phosphate rock formations, but also accumulates in urban and livestock wastewater wherefrom it is often lost as a pollutant....journal article 2018

Daniel, D. (author), Marks, Sara J. (author), Pande, S. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)Household water treatment (HWT) can effectively reduce exposure to unsafe drinking water at home. Understanding the characteristics of target groups who successfully adopt HWT, such as perception about water quality and usefulness of HWT, income, or parental education, is essential for enhancing the adoption of HWT in developing countries. The...journal article 2018

Pande, S. (author), Pandit, A. (author)opulation growth is often intuitively linked with proportionally higher use of fresh water resources. However, this implies that water use per capita does not change with population growth. We not only find that birth rates of regions are negatively related with its water use per capita (i.e., higher birth rate is associated with lower water use...journal article 2018

Pande, S. (author), Arkesteijn, L. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Bastidas, L.A. (author)This paper shows that instability of hydrological system representation in response to different pieces of information and associated prediction uncertainty is a function of model complexity. After demonstrating the connection between unstable model representation and model complexity, complexity is analyzed in a step by step manner. This is...journal article 2015

Pande, S. (author), Ertsen, M. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)While the proposed model is a rather simple model of a coupled human–water system, it is shown to be capable of replicating patterns of technological, population, production and consumption per capita changes. The model demonstrates that technological change may indeed ameliorate the effects of increasing water scarcity, but typically it does so...journal article 2014

Pande, S. (author), Arkesteijn, L. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Bastidas, L.A. (author)This paper presents evidence that model prediction uncertainty does not necessarily rise with parameter dimensionality (the number of parameters). Here by prediction we mean future simulation of a variable of interest conditioned on certain future values of input variables. We utilize a relationship between prediction uncertainty, sample size...journal article 2014

Pande, S. (author), Ertsen, M. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author)The ancient civilization in the Indus Valley civilization dispersed under extreme dry conditions; there are indications that the same holds for many other ancient societies. Even contemporary societies, such as the one in Murrumbidgee river basin in Australia, have started to witness a decline in overall population under increasing water...journal article 2013

Pande, S. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)We propose and test the theory of endogenous change based on historical reconstructions of two ancient civilizations, Indus and Hohokam, in two water scarce basins, the Indus basin in the Indian subcontinent and the Lower Colorado basin in Southwestern United States. The endogenous institutional change sees changes in institutions as a sequence...journal article 2013
