Register for the next Seminar: www.cranfield.ac.uk/sas/s4ge Chaired by Professor Simon Pollard, Cranfield University and Julie Vaughan, Senior Associate, Herbert Smith Freehills LLP Managing global water resources better is one of the most pressing challenges facing society, and fundamental to economic development, food security and reducing poverty. But water is at a tipping point, with demand outstripping available supplies, leading to conflicts over water allocation and negative impacts on the environment and livelihoods. Globalisation and a changing climate are exacerbating the situation, as governments try to deal with uncertainty surrounding water stress. With a focus on ‘water for people’ and ‘water for food’, this seminar will discuss how research in the science, engineering and management of water is helping to address these challenges, to quantify the risks and develop more sustainable approaches to alleviate impacts on businesses and society. Speakers included: Professor Simon Pollard, Cranfield University Julie Vaughan, Herbert Smith Freehills Professor Elise Cartmell, Cranfield University Dr Jerry Knox, Cranfield University
