Water, Water Everywhere: The Paradox of the 21st Century
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Session Description
Current forecasts suggest that within 40 years, global demand for water could exhaust the world’s available supply. Proof of this theory is growing steadily. In 1990, 28 countries, with a combined population of 335 million, faced chronic water shortages as demand for potable water exceeded supply. Join us to examine how social entrepreneurs, private citizens and large multinationals are addressing water quality and security issues, drawing on their comparative strengths and experiences.
