Water: Our Most Precious Resource

Stephen Rutt, author of The Waterlands: Follow a Raindrop from Source to Sea, joins oceanographer Russell Arnott to dive into one of the most urgent questions of our time: how do we manage water and its vital habitats? Shaping landscapes, communities and entire civilisations, water is a source of tension across the globe.

Wars are fought over access and droughts, floods and coastal erosion are forcing people from their homes.

Meanwhile, our freshwater is being polluted, threatening the wildlife and landscapes around us.

This conversation will explore water's fragile habitats and the collective action needed to protect them.

Chaired by Helen Czerski.

There will be a book signing after this event.
