At the Water’s Edge

At the Water's Edge - The Global Water Crisis

The above film is a preview of WWF's At the Water's Edge presentation which brings to life the 'global water crisis'  currently being driven by explosive population growth, the ever-increasing water demands of agriculture and industry, and the looming threat of climate change.

The presentation is designed to help us understand global water issues and their relationship to all aspects of life. 

While the presentation explores the consequences of our mismanagement of water now and in the future, it also stresses that there is enough water to meet  our needs and the needs of the planet - but only with action from individuals, Government and business.

If you are interested in arranging for the 30 minute presentation to be delivered to your organisation or at a industry event please get in touch.

The presentation is aimed at senior but non-technical audiences, and has already been praised by senior political and business leaders in the UK and internationally.
