In this guest post, David Purkey of the Stockholm Environment Institute gives us the history of water planning, from ancient times to today.
A BIG PICTURE LOOK AT WATER PROBLEMS
Infrastructure solutions to water problems provide short-term benefits, but communities need more: long-term water security.
A STEPPING STONE TOWARD SECURITY
If WASH professionals work in tandem with water security experts, the benefits can be substantial, both now and in the future.
WATER SECURITY & THE PRIVATE SECTOR
Engaging the private sector in broader water security efforts requires understanding their motivations and drivers, including water risks and business opportunities.
SAVE THE DATE
In conjunction with Winrock International and the Wilson Center, SWP presents the "Sustainable Water, Resilient Communities" series exploring the roles of different actors in addressing water risk in some of the most vulnerable parts of the world. The second part in this series, "The Challenge of Too Much Water," will take place Tuesday, December 5, at Washington D.C.'s Wilson Center at 9:00 a.m. For more information, click here.
