When the Taps Run Dry - Will technology solve the water crisis?

What can we do when there is no more water? Will technology solve the problem?

Welcome to our seminar at KTH in Stockholm seminar - breakfast included!

The drought of summer 2018 proved that water security is an issue also in Sweden. Globally, humans are consuming freshwater at an unprecedented pace and the situation is further exacerbated by climate change and population increase. So how ready are we for an ever increasingly hot climate? How do we safeguard the human right to safe, sufficient and affordable water?

This seminar will discuss the situation in Sweden as well as Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Desalination is often presented as a solution to the shortage of freshwater – but is it really that simple? Can technology save us from our self-inflicted water crisis?
