Connecting the Dots
"It's no longer good enough to identify the problems - we need to think about the solutions."
-Buzz Thompson
On Monday, April 16, 2012, Stanford experts from a range of disciplines discussed the interconnections and interactions among humanity's needs for and use of water, food, energy, and environment. Drawing on their own research, the speakers illustrated and evaluated some of the ways in which decisions in one resource area can lead to trade-offs or co-benefits in others. They examined sustainable freshwater resources and uses in Africa, Asia, and the arid West. Symposium attendees also participated in breakout sessions led by Stanford students and faculty, on a range of challenges associated with sustainable freshwater.
