Impacts of Climate Change on Global Water Resources and Engineering Solutions

This panel will examine the impact of climate change on global water resources and how these impacts have affected people in the global south. From droughts that have led to crop failures to floods that have damaged crops and property, it is obvious that climate change has brought extremes in weather and has compromised the availability of clean water to peoples in developing countries where resilience against changing climate are fragile at best. Panelists will offer engineering and hydro ideas that can lead to improvement of the current situation.

Speakers:

Doug Jerolmack, Penn Engineering

Tony Sauder, Penn EES/LPS, Water Center at Penn

Paulo Arratia, Penn Engineering
