Tim Smedley: Can We Save The World’s Water Crisis?

A talk about the world's water crisis
Join environmental journalist Tim Smedley for a thought-provoking and gripping talk that will explore the scarcity of water worldwide.

When it comes to water scarcity, the last place on Earth you’d think of is rain-soaked England. Flooding is a growing problem in the UK, but strangely, the same forces that are driving the increase in torrential downpours are also driving water shortages both here and across the globe.

Tim has travelled the world talking to farmers, householders, engineers and activists, and his latest book The Last Drop is packed with personal stories of the struggles faced by communities as rivers and aquifers dry up and glaciers retreat, but also of the ways people adapt and build resilience.

There will be a book signing after the talk, in partnership with Salisbury Waterstones.
