About the Author
Hi, I’m Jesutofunmi — a water and environmental engineer based in Nigeria, with a Master’s degree in water and wastewater engineering specialising in water and wastewater treatment. My research has focused on treatment systems for rural communities affected by mining activities, where water quality challenges are among the most severe and often overlooked.
I started Jay Water Advisory to make water science accessible — clear, practical, and grounded in the Nigerian reality.
