June 16 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Didcot Cafe Scientifique, Tuesday 16th June, 7.30pm – 9pm, Cornerstone Arts Centre
Water – How we use it and abuse it
The talk will cover wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment and the current national and global water issues and impact of the climate crisis.
Water, whether too much or too little around the globe is at the forefront of how the changing climate is affecting communities.
How we use this precious resource is also impacted by the effects of weather to the extent of risking significant harm to our infrastructure systems.
