- Here are 5 ways we can build global water systems resilience
Water scarcity, pollution and extreme weather events driven by climate change, population growth and industrial demand are pushing global water systems to critical levels Building water resilience hinges on cross-sector partnerships, tailored financing and adopting innovative governance and policy frameworks
- Public-private collaboration on water, key to achieving SDGs | World . . .
Other critical innovations include those around storage systems for water, leakage in water delivery systems, agriculture, recycling industrial wastewater, and water-efficient energy systems These areas and technologies, often requiring collaboration between public and private sectors, hold the potential to reshape water management paradigms
- What is World Water Day? | World Economic Forum
And so World Water Day has been observed since 1993 to highlight the work that remains to ensure everyone on Earth has access to clean drinking water And while it's a high-profile issue – check out our podcast with Matt Damon below – the figures above emphasize the challenges that remain, especially with freshwater usage increasing each year
- How big an impact do humans have on the water cycle . . . - World . . .
World Water Day is held on 22 March every year to raise awareness of the importance of freshwater and the challenges billions face in getting access to safe water A growing population, the increasing demands of human use for agriculture and industry, plus the effects of climate change all put water under threat
- The key to solving the global water crisis? Collaboration
Water is a highly complex and fragmented area That is why collaboration is key to helping solve this challenge, experts say The Aquapreneur Innovation Initiative, from the Forum's UpLink platform, is connecting water start-ups with stakeholders across the sector to foster a culture of collaboration for water
- These breakthrough technologies can lead us to a zero water waste . . .
To demystify the water technology landscape and elevate the most scalable solutions in this space, UpLink recently ran the Zero Water Waste Challenge, from which the top 10 water-focused entrepreneurs or 'Aquapreneurs' from a pool of 192 applicants representing 40 different countries have now been announced
- What is runoff pollution – and what can we do about it?
The chemicals and nutrients carried by rainwater are harmful to aquatic ecosystems, disrupting their balance and affecting aquatic life, according to Smart Water, a water management company Nutrient run-off can cause algae to excessively grow and then decompose, depriving plants and animals of oxygen through a process termed eutrophication
- Investing in water resilience is crucial – and a major opportunity
Nature-based solutions, or “green” infrastructure – as alternatives to human-built “grey” infrastructure such as dams or river regulations – are proven to deliver cost-effective, measurable and sustainable benefits to drive water resilience for people and nature, especially those most vulnerable to climate impacts
