Miles‘s Story
My name is Miles Schelling and I am a graduate student at the University of Rhode Island studying hydrology. I lived in the village of Nersa from January to May 2019. During this time I helped in a survey conducted by my colleagues at the University of Southern Maine (USM). The village has 300 inhabitants and the survey included 19 households and 120 people, 40% of the village. Some key findings of the survey include:
