Understanding Changes across Global Transboundary Waters and Implications for Sustainable Water Resources Management
Lecture Description: Nearly half of the Earth's land surface is in a watershed or basin that transects the boundary of two or more sovereign nations. This geopolitical context serves as a backdrop for a world in which water security (including a need to recognize water as a shared resource) hinges on positive multinational relationships. As different regions experience changes in precipitation, flooding, drought, and potential shifts in population dynamics, they are correspondingly faced with a broad range of water resources management challenges. This lecture provides a new look at how different regions are meeting those challenges, and how a global perspective might help improve water resources management at regional and basin scales (including at the scale of the Laurentian Great Lakes).
