Webinar: The Fundamental Issues of Global Water Security: Linking Water Security to Nature

Following the success of the first two IAHR webinars on ‘The Business of Global Water Security’ and ‘The Science of Global Water Security’, attracting a global audience of several thousand page views each, it is timely now to focus on ‘The Fundamental Issues of Global Water Security’ and linking water security to nature and nature-based solutions. Due to climate change, population growth, increasing urbanisation etc., many lakes, rivers, wetlands and coastal basins globally are becoming more stressed from pollution, depleting water resources, global warming, increased floods and droughts, and increasing ecological and biological disruptions.

This third webinar in this series of webinars being planned by the IAHR Global Water Security Working Group focuses on some of these issues, including: adaptive, real-time, self-learning technologies, validation of hydrodynamics and ecological processes in aquatic systems, including interactions between the ecology, biology and hydrodynamics, particularly in lakes, wetlands and river basin systems. This webinar will focus on framing high-level adaptive, real-time monitoring and nature-based solutions to the challenges and opportunities of Global Water Security, bringing together well-known experts in their fields from the hydro-environmental science and engineering community within IAHR and beyond. Future webinars will focus more on policy and climate change issues and SDG challenges associated with Global Water Security issues.

This third IAHR Global Water Security webinar will be held on Monday 22nd March 2021, World Water Day, 07:00-09:30 (UTC Time), 00:00-02:30 (USA Pacific Daylight Time), 08:00-10:30 (Central European Time), 15:00-17:30 (China Standard Time, Western Australian time). The session will be chaired by Professor Roger Falconer. Recording of the webinar will be played.
