Peace K. Amoatey is a Civil Engineer with about 20 years of experience in water and environmental engineering problems. Her research interests has been using slow sand and biochar (corn cobs and coconut coir) filtration systems to improve polluted surface water used for irrigation of urban farms. Prior to that she worked on estimating leakage in developing country context, establishment of leakage estimation parameters and leakage detection modelling. From ORCID
