The advocate for understanding peak water—the tipping point between enough, and not enough, good water to support human and animal life, agriculture and industry—will be the guest speaker for a free, public event sponsored by the Year of Water Committee at Case Western Reserve University.
Gleick will speak about the state of the world’s water problems, whether we are approaching the point of “peak water,” and innovative and effective solutions for the coming decades at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 16, in Strosacker Auditorium on the university’s south quad.
“I think we are in a transition to a new way of thinking about and managing our water,” Gleick said in one of his recent blog posts for the Huffington Post. “And the sooner the better.”
