Episode 15 - Global Water Security
Show Notes
Hosts: Jeff Cunningham and Ryan Harris
Guests: Mr. Mike Gremillion, Director of the Global Water Security Center and Dr. Kate Brauman, Associate Director for Communications and Analysis
Description: Our human bodies are made of more than 60% water, and water makes up 71% of Earth, yet only 0.5% of the water is drinkable. As the climate continues to change and global population increases, many communities are having to grapple with diminishing water resources. Mike Gremillion and Dr. Kate Brauman are leading the Global Water Security Center to make water data, both domestically and internationally, more available and especially more accessible for governments, industry, and communities to make more informed water management decisions.
