Speakers:
Mike Haigh, water director, Mott MacDonald
Prof Roger Falconer FREng, Halcrow Professor of Water Management, Cardiff University

An alliance including the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) has conducted an enquiry into the factors propelling us toward a global water crisis, and how engineering can help to avoid it. The resulting report, Global Water Security, looks at the various responses already being applied around the world as well as making recommendations for new approaches, both globally and UK-specific.
