For the first time in the history of the @wef Global Risks Report, the top five risks in terms of likelihood all relate to water. A connection that worryingly doesn’t seem to have been recognized by the respondents. Read our response to today's report: bit.ly/35VhtQ3

#FridayReads: “Water is easy to take for granted. It falls from the sky, and, though it’s vital, we sometimes treat it as if it’s worthless. Yet the prospect of shortages in the years ahead could make water a precious commodity.” nyti.ms/2S8pUCe via @nytimes

As Fresh Water Grows Scarcer, It Could Become a Good Investment (Published 2019)

Water investing presents an ethical quandary: Are you willing to buy shares of companies that can turn off the taps for needy users?

Students and staff in the room from: Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Botswana, Madagascar, DRC, Malawi, South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Ghana! Expanding the reach of the FRbD process across southern Africa!
Great to see #decisionmaking under #deepuncertainty being an approach taken in the wastewater field too!

Look @HydrosystemsG! Decision making under deep uncertainty makes it to a wastewater presentation! Excellent presentation by my Notre Dame labmate, Leon Downing, on technoeconomic analysis for projecting potential resource recovery and energy efficiency!

Water is life. In India, poor communities struggle for a reliable supply. Trucks are used in cities like Delhi and Bangalore to service large parts of the community, and we are working to improve the efficiency and accountability of these trucks. cnn.com/2019/05/16/india/ind…
