Description
A changing climate is having direct impacts on variability of water supply for drinking, agricultural, mining and other activities. Like other natural resources, as supplies change or become more scarce, there is a need to unlock new supplies that may have previously been considered too expensive or difficult to access. This panel will explore different and innovative methods around the world allowing access to additional sources of water, including reuse, desalinisation, changes in ownership regimes, underground basin infiltration, transporting ice water and other methods of developing supplies.
