Towards Hydrosolidarity: Ample Opportunities for Human Ingenuity

admin — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 16:34:25 +0000

Towards Hydrosolidarity: Ample Opportunites for Human Ingenuity, takes us through the findings of the first 14 Stockholm Water Symposia. It explains the issues and opportunities related to securing water for global food supply, achieving safe domestic water supply and sanitation, and balancing all water-related activities and interests in a catchment.

Hydrosolidarity - the all-encompassing, multi-dimensional guiding ethic for solving water-related problems - is achievable. Human ingenuity, applied in the right place, at the right time, is what is needed.

The concept of Hydrosolidarity and the preceding concepts of blue and green water – is explored more in detail in this issue of Stockholm Water Front. Also, meet the 2002 Stockholm Water Prize Laureate, Professor Ignacio Rodríguez-Iturbe from Venezuela, which have contributed to better understanding of the interaction between climate, soil and vegetation structures, surface water, floods and droughts.

Towards Upstream/Downstream Hydrosolidarity
