Addressing the urban water demands in a sustainable way

Water-related challenges arising from climate change include a significant reduction of renewable surface water and groundwater resources in most dry subtropical regions, and a deterioration in raw water quality. With dwindling water resources and rapid urban population growth, there is intensifying competition for water demands in the urban environment. These demands include, for example, sufficiently addressing the water needs within the various municipalities, establishing urban green landscapes, and cooling and energy production. Addressing all these needs at the same time is likely to require unprecedented volumes of freshwater that may further exacerbate water scarcity concerns in a region that is already operating at the extremes of water-stress. In this seminar, KAUST Professor Peiying Hong discusses what are the water-related challenges, the various water sources one can tap into, and their associated pros and cons. Prof. Hong will also provide her perspective on how we can address some of the water needs in a more sustainable way. This seminar is brought to you by Students for Sustainability, with the support of the Office of Student Life and the Head of KAUST Sustainability, Dr. Ana Margarida Costa.
