The RSG-IBG invites you to join a roundtable discussion focusing on the importance of space in current and future water resource policy decisions. The roundtable considers how researchers can support the water industry, and provides a forum to explore how partnerships can be strengthened.
The discussion will centre on:
- Accuracy of our current modelling on spatial dimensions of water resource availability, demand and use: do these accurately reflect future climate change, economic, and population change scenarios?
- How to improve this modelling: what are the pressing needs for further research to make decisions over future resource use and influence Government policy?”
Speakers: Professor Adrian McDonald FRGS (Leeds University), Dr Liz Sharp (Bradford), and Ian Barker (Head of Water, Environment Agency)
