“Global Water Security” with Professor Roger Falconer

On Tuesday 17 June, we will be joined by Professor Roger Falconer, Honorary Graduate and Former Professor at the University of Bradford to discuss the global challenges of  water security and the need for a holistic approach to combat this.

Global Water Security: Need for a Holistic Approach

The presentation will introduce some of the general challenges of global water security (i.e., water availability and quality), highlighting the challenges of climate change, increasing population growth, and pollution. The concept of virtual water will be introduced and the necessity for society, industry, and governments to address water security in a global holistic framework. Examples will be given as to how western cultures can have a significant impact on water security for citizens living in many less well-developed parts of the world. Some small changes in our behaviour could have a significant impact on water quality in so many developing countries and we could have a marked impact on improving the quality of life and saving lives of fellow citizens world-wide.
