This is my PhD project where I'm looking at the nexus between plastic and flood in an urban water catchment in Accra. This project combines field monitoring with modelling to achieve the final goal of the project. Presently, field work is ongoing within the catchment with three different measurement schemes, i.e. the monitoring of macroplastics in the river at different bridges along the river and the sampling of litter in a designated area at the river banks and the terrestrial environment. This field work will be for a year. So far we've covered the dry season and looking forward to data collection in the wet season to see the variation in the plastic distribution.
