Water is essential to all human life, and yet it's a challenge to match the needs of people with the availability of water throughout the year. There may be too much, or too little water or the water may be polluted and unusable. On top of this climate change and trends like urbanization are contributing to increasing water scarcity. This month, we were joined by Ruth Matthews, senior manager at SIWI, and Dr. Jean-Christophe Comte, PI of the Connect 4 Water Resilience project to talk about solutions to water stress and scarcity.
