David Sedlak - Water For All
This episode of Big Blend Radio's "Nature Connection" Show features professor and award-winning author David Sedlak, who discusses his new book, “Water for All: Global Solutions for a Changing Climate." Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UMN9alDYvLk
The current approach to providing water is failing to meet the demands of the growing population and the challenges brought on by climate change. In "Water for All," David Sedlak argues there are solutions to address global water shortages. He identifies the challenges including ineffective policies and outdated infrastructure, and also outlines the myriad of tools at our disposal to address the problem.
David Sedlak is the Plato Malozemoff Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and director of the Berkeley Water Center. He is the author of the award-winning "Water 4.0: The Past, Present, and Future of the World’s Most Vital Resource."
