The Water Resources Podcast
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.
Petra Döll discusses the evolution of global hydrologic modeling, especially WaterGAP, as well as transdisciplinary knowledge integration in participatory processes in water and risk management.
Francois Bertone and Lucy Lytton discuss the recent World Bank report on The Hidden Wealth of Nations, The Economics of Groundwater in Times of Climate Change.
Laurence Gill assesses the importance of groundwater in rural Ireland, fingerprinting pollution sources from agriculture and humans, and using music to translate water flow in karst systems
Michelle van Vliet discusses regional and global surface water quality, how water quality affects water scarcity, and potential solutions based on wastewater reuse and seawater desalination.
Robert Mace discusses groundwater sustainability issues, considering long-term evolution of different aquifers (Ogallala, Edwards, Trinity) with implications for future management.
Günter Blöschl discusses recent flooding in Europe, causes of flooding, including climate change and land use change, engineering and nature-based solutions to reduce flood risk, and social hydrology aspects.
Mike Dettinger discusses the origin and evolution of atmospheric rivers and their importance in managing reservoir storage in the Southwest US.
