Supply management
Transcript:
AC: Let’s start off with supply management. Sometimes the problem isn’t that there is no water it’s actually that the existing water is mismanaged, wasted or just lost. So projects are set up to capture surface water and to store it for later use. Groundwater also falls into this category. We are continually looking for new ways to exploit and extract groundwater.
RH: And what about the possibility of using sea water?
AC: A good point. There are desalination plants around the world where they transform sea water and make it suitable for agriculture.
RH: Yes.
AC: Also, there are lots of new water sharing agreements being drawn up between neighbouring countries. Because in lots of cases the water is there but the people just -don't have access to it.
