The Water Resources Podcast
Matt Rodell describes how the GRACE satellites track changes in Terrestrial Water Storage in response to droughts, floods, and climate change.
Kate Brauman discusses nature-based solutions, their applications in hydrology in different regions globally, and comparisons with traditional engineering infrastructure.
Charlie Vorosmarty discusses mapping human water security and biodiversity threats and potential green/gray solutions that integrate nature based and traditional engineering approaches.
Marty Ralph discusses atmospheric rivers and how we can optimize them to improve water resources management within the context of droughts and floods through Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations.
Lorenzo Rosa talks about green, blue, and economic water scarcity related to food production considering climate change and potential solutions to scarcity.
In this podcast, Seifu discusses challenges to groundwater resources management in the Horn of Africa and Southern Africa related to droughts and floods and potential for conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water for more sustainable development.
Jude Cobbing discusses the water resources in Sub-Saharan Africa, the barriers to development, including financing, drilling and pumping technologies, and energy access, and approaches to addressing these barriers as shown in South Africa.
Megan Hart discusses risks related to natural hazards (e.g., floods, droughts, earthquakes) and approaches to managing those risks within the context of climate change.
Chunmiao Zheng discusses China’s Water Challenges, including water scarcity in the north and water excess in the south, transfer from south to north, widespread water pollution and governance.
Abhijit discusses overexploitation of groundwater resources and arsenic contamination with potential solutions using managed aquifer recharge and stratified drilling to minimize arsenic exposure.
