Water scarcity is spreading and intensifying in many regions of the world, with dire consequences for local communities, economies, and freshwater ecosystems. Current approaches tend to rely on policies crafted at the state or national level, which on their own have proved insufficient to arrest water scarcity. To be durable and effective, water plans must be informed by the culture, economics, and varied needs of affected community members.

Join Brian Richter, international water expert and Director of Global Freshwater Strategies for The Nature Conservancy, for a discussion about his book Chasing Water, and how it ties into local water issues.
