The Power of Water: Consumptive Water Use to Feed Humanity: Curing a Blind Spot
Date: October 11, 2004
Location: Bell Museum Auditorium
Where will the water come from to feed
tomorrow’s humanity? Many rivers are already
almost empty, particularly in Asia where there
is still rapid population growth and large undernourishment. Global water expert and
author Professor Malin Falkenmark calls for a
shift in thinking to cope with the problems of
feeding the world while saving healthy ecosystems.
Sponsor: Water Resources Center, the Consortium for Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences, the Bell Museum, the Graduate School and Part of the President's 21st Century Interdisciplinary Conference Series
