Green systems aim to protect public health and safety and restore natural and human landscapes. How can we restore natural systems? What steps can we take to create sustainable water systems fit for human consumption? How does Austria, a landlocked, Alpine country, benefit from systems that are put into place in California, and vice versa? This panel discussion takes an interdisciplinary approach to how human behaviour influences the water cycle, how we can build infrastructure to sustainably satisfy the population, and what the future holds for natural systems and water consumption.
Panelists:
Sarah Yarnell (Research Hydrologist, Center for Watershed Sciences, UC Davis)
Paolo D'Odorico (Professor, Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, UC Berkeley)
Moderator:
Runzi Wang (Assistant Professor, School for Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan)
