Description

Too much water in the form of flooding, or too little water in the form of drought. Two of the biggest global challenges when it comes to water are at completely opposite ends of the spectrum.


 


UNSW Associate Professor Kristen Splinter, and water
engineering executive Daniel Lambert join STEMM journalist Neil Martin to talk about the potential solutions to those crucial problems.




They discuss the importance of ensuring the ever-increasing global population has safe water to drink, and enough water to also grow suitable amounts of food, while also dealing with issues around flooding and sea
level rises.
