This conversation, in collaboration with the Columbia Climate School, will provide comprehensive insights into the complexities of water management in India, a region characterized by diverse climates, rapid population growth, and high water stress. Panelists will explore how climate change is affecting the physical hydrology of South Asia, how resource management and prevailing infrastructure have shaped regional water supplies, and how existing and emerging solutions for sustainable water management can help build resilience in India and beyond.
