Lucy Lytton is a Senior Water Resources Management Specialist with over 30 years’ experience. Since joining the World Bank in 2017, her work has focused on groundwater management challenges, mainly in the South Asia Region. Prior to this she worked with the Australian government providing support to policy development for groundwater allocation in the Murray Darling Basin and technical advice on the impacts of extractive industries nationally. Her recent focus on groundwater quality reflects her concern about the risk of unaddressed pollution creating further water scarcity challenges on top of those already being exacerbated by changes in demography and climate. A hydrogeologist by training, Lucy has also worked in the United Kingdom water industry and with humanitarian support missions to Senegal, Chad and Sri Lanka.
