Episode 4 - Parsing the politics of singular and multiple waters

Hello and welcome to the 'Transformations to Groundwater Sustainability' Podcast. Every month, we will share narratives of knowing, accessing and sharing groundwater from different perspectives and places around the globe. The podcast is hosted by Muna Dajani (Lancaster University) and Cristian Olmos (University of Amsterdam. In today's episode, we are talking about practices of circularity and recharge. Our guests are Uma Aslekar (ACWADAM, India), Lowe Börjeson (Stockholm University, Sweden)and Amine Saidani (CREAD, Algeria). We reflect on local stories and initiatives from Algeria and India and their different understanding of circularity and recharge. As always, we are aiming to offer listeners something more than an academic interview. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Put headphones on properly to let the vibrations guide this sense-experience of the the waterline. Reach through the ears into opening underwater spaces. Feel vibrations push back on sound senses. Imagine sensed these vibrations across your skin. Know that you are listening to diffractive patterns you cannot perceive.

King’s Water is developing the Global River Basins Connects project in partnership with our PLuS Alliance colleagues from Arizona State University and University of New South Wales.

The aim of this project is to build interdisciplinary expertise on sustainability challenges in global river basins for enhanced scientific understanding and policy impact for river basin governance.  Activities are two fold, focusing on comparative analysis of the sustainability of seven global river basins and on research-led education.  

This project is led by Dr Naho Mirumachi with King’s Water members Dr Daanish Mustafa, Dr Mark Mulligan, Dr Emma Tebbs, Dr Mike Chadwick and Dr Rob Francis.

What will a Joe Biden presidency mean for the environment, for climate action, for energy, for technology? How will this tie in with recovery from the covid crisis, and what does it mean for the rest of the world? 

In this special episode we sift through the issues with WRI experts Andrew Steer, Helen Mountford, Dan Lashof, Lori Bird, Christina deConcini and Joe Thwaites.
