[LUM#16] Light on Water
The sixteenth issue of your Lum magazine is dedicated to water, that precious and under-pressure common good.
The management of water resources and aquatic ecosystems, which are vital to humans and their activities, is one of humanity's major challenges. Climate change, rapid urbanization, and population growth are exacerbating inequalities and risks related to water.
What impact does this have on ecosystems? How can water resource management be optimized? What are the associated risks? In this 16th issue, Lum gives a voice to the researchers who work every day to tackle water-related challenges.
Guaranteeing access to drinking water for all; measuring and understanding the consequences of human activities on fish, algae, glacier biodiversity, and bacteria that inhabit water; drilling to discover aquifers or optimizing crop irrigation. Examine and analyze water policies and laws. Anticipate the risks of high water and flooding, perhaps even from space?
Montpellier University and its partners are at the forefront of addressing the complexity of water issues, the discussions they raise, and the solutions that need to be devised across the globe to tackle what is undoubtedly one of the key challenges of the 21st century. Find out more by browsing through this 16th issue, which focuses on water.
