The following article appears in the Fall\/Winter 2019 issue of Third + Broadway magazine<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the well is dry, we will know the worth of water.\u201d <\/p>\u2014 Benjamin Franklin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I set out to conquer the Negev Desert, intent on beating the\npersistent mid-summer heat. No one could say we were unprepared: five liters of\nwater each, electrolyte tablets, copious amounts of sunscreen. Yet deep within\nthe desolate wilderness, my pack ran dry. My new reality insisted on rationing\nand had zero tolerance for careless drinking. I lagged behind my companions as\nwe ambled for what seemed like days. With temperatures soaring over 100\ndegrees, I caught a glimpse of a reality that millions face daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six months prior, I boarded my flight to Tel Aviv, Israel,\nbeginning my semester abroad knowing little of the transformational experience\nthat awaited me. Back on campus at Transy, I had intensely studied the Middle\nEast, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the violence; I had read the books,\ndiscussed the issues, done the research. Yet, for all the book knowledge, daily\nlife existed deep in a web of complexities I never could have imagined from\nwithin the confines of the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In class, however, all the study hours and endless readings\nover the past years paid off. I slipped easily into an academic routine, giving\nme more time to focus on disentangling my new sociocultural realities. I\nlearned how to balance exploration with paper writing, deal with homesickness\nand make the most of my limited time \u2014 lessons that would follow me as I moved\nto Italy for my first year of graduate study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the risk of sounding clich\u00e9, my experience profoundly impacted me in ways which I am still discovering. Some variation of this statement can be heard from most students returning from their time abroad, whether it be in reference to personal growth, new friends or global awareness. For me, going to Israel illuminated my career path; it gave me a direction, a passion. It shapes my graduate studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Study; my interests in conflict management and energy, resources and environment; the list of jobs for which I am currently applying; and all the research papers written since my return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pure coincidence landed me in a class on water resources and conflict. A series of field trips took me from the Gazan border with its integrated wastewater and desalination plants to the West Bank and its wadis, deep ravines lined with hoses attempting to capture any stray water. The symptoms of water insecurity followed me everywhere I went: water tanks atop homes, illegal wells around villages. Palestinians lived in fear of having their water shut off in retaliation for terror attacks; Israelis lived in fear of hostile nations undermining their freshwater supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue of water security captured my attention. I could\nsee the reality all around me. In small ways, I lived this daily: limited\nshowers, the potential that the water tank would run dry, zero days of rain in\nthe seven months I was there. However, it was not until that day in the desert\nthat I began to comprehend how all-consuming the idea of water can be when one\nexperiences true uncertainty. Thirsty, dusty and tired in the wilderness, I\nrealized I would spend my life working on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though my journey began in Israel, the reality of water\ninsecurity flows through the fabric of life across the globe. This passion has\ntaken me from the rural strongholds of Eastern Kentucky where outhouses and dry\ntaps are commonplace, to the urbanized centers of Italy with its failing water\ninfrastructure, to the high altitude of Bolivia and its indigenous population\nwho continue to experience marginalized service access and, finally, back to\nour nation\u2019s capital. Wherever the path leads next, I strive to leave each\nplace knowing fewer people will worry about their water access than they did\nthe day before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an undergraduate, Lauren Gilbert \u201918 arrived in Israel\nwithout knowing the Hebrew alphabet. Not long after completing an intensive\nlanguage course, the William T. Young scholar was able to read, write and\npresent in her new language. By chance, to fill an extra course credit, she\ntook a class on water security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWater resources in the Middle East sounded intriguing,\u201d she\nremembers thinking. Given her interest in intelligence and national security,\nshe adds, \u201cI thought there would be implications.\u201d Indeed, there was so much to\nbe learned about water security issues throughout the world that she wondered,\n\u201cWhy aren\u2019t the alarms going off everywhere?\u201d She returned to Transy inspired\nto pursue water policy as her postgraduate path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, after a year in graduate school in Bologna, Italy, and a summer interning in the U.S. embassy in La Paz, Bolivia, Gilbert is completing the second year of her master\u2019s degree at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Study. She\u2019s already gaining experience working with a development consulting group on infrastructure projects in Latin America. Ultimately, she wants to help ensure that all people, from Lexington to La Paz, have access to clean water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
