Join us for our May 5th Watering Hole (4:30-5:30pm in Hogan Room 1-160) on "Fixing global water insecurity…for non-water folks" featuring Aaron Salzburg.
Water security depends on a lot more than water. Too often the conversation is limited to those in the water sector. Professor Aaron Salzberg, former Special Coordinator for Water, US Department of State, and former Director of the Institute for Water and Health at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, will discuss water insecurity… for non water people! Specifically, he will review the fundamental causes of issues with water availability, access, use, and reliability, and make some suggestions for how folks across Northwestern can help mitigate (at least some of) these.
Each month, we invite water experts to share their innovative work in a concise 15-minute presentation, followed by refreshing networking opportunities with snacks and drinks. These gatherings are designed to create meaningful connections within our water community while providing insights into cutting-edge research and initiatives. Open to all students, faculty, and interested community members, our Watering Holes offer a perfect blend of education and social interaction in a welcoming environment.
