[LUM#16] Light on the water

The sixteenth issue of Lum magazine is dedicated to water, that precious common good under pressure.
The management of water resources and aquatic ecosystems, vital for human beings and their activities, is one of the major challenges facing humanity. Climate change, rapid urbanization and population growth are exacerbating water-related inequalities and risks.
What impact on ecosystems? How can we optimize water resource management? What are the associated risks? In this 16th issue, Lum gives a voice to the researchers who work every day to meet the challenges of water.
Guaranteeing access to drinking water for all; measuring and understanding the consequences of human activities on fish, algae, glacier biodiversity or the bacteria that inhabit water; drilling to discover aquifers or optimizing crop irrigation. Question and analyze water policies and laws. Anticipate the risks of high water and flooding, why not from space?
The University of Montpellier and its partners are at the forefront of tackling the complexity of water issues, the reflections they provoke, and the solutions that need to be devised all over the planet to meet what is indeed one of the unavoidable challenges of the 21st century. Go and meet them by leafing through this 16th issue, which puts the spotlight on water.
