The Stroud Water Research Center in Chester County will host a World Water Day Celebration starting at 6:00 p.m. in the Center located at 970 Spencer Road in Avondale.
The program features a lecture by Brian Richter, President of Sustainable Waters, who will present on Chasing Water In A Dynamically Changing World.
Water shortages are now affecting half the world’s population, disrupting food and energy security as well as urban water supplies. The overuse of water and associated drying of rivers, lakes, and aquifers has become a leading cause of freshwater species imperilment.
Climate change forecasts foretell even greater challenges in many water-scarce regions. These threats to our water future can be ameliorated, but it will require bold and concerted action on the part of governments, city leaders, and farmers.
This presentation will highlight the key solutions that must be implemented.
Sponsors of this special event include Chester County Community Foundation and Exelon Generation.
