Arbeid

I Afrika ble de voldsomme utfordringene relatert til vann en vekker. Siden desember 2007 har han ledet Nile Basin Research Programme som er et større forskningsprogram som søker å framme forskning relatert til Nilen innen en rekke tematiske felt.  Alle de 11 afrikanske landene i Nil bassenget er med i programmet med alle deres universiteter og forkningsinstitusjoner. Programmet har høstet stor annerkjennelse for det arbeidet som gjøres både ved UiB og i Nil regionen. Fra denne vinkelen har Sætersdal jobbet med vannforvaltning og vannressurser i Nil dalen men er også involvert i prosjekter om vannkvalitet og implikasjoner for lokalbefolkningen i Asia. Faggruppen fra Nil programmet har også bygget opp to store NORHED prosjekter bevilget av NORAD i 2013 hvor ledende universiteter fra 8 land i Afrika og Asia er involvert samt UiB i samarbeid med NMBU og Høgskolen i Telemark.
