Provinces failing their their cities on #UrbanWater is something of pastime in #CanadianPolitics. Even so, #DougFord and his minions stand out in their reflexive distrust of expertise and utter lack of interest in actually governing for the public good. Mike Harris and his cronies were close, I suppose. These are simply not serious people. #UrbanWaterFutures #SwimDrinkFish #OurGreatLakes

A presentation on #UrbanWater and #MarathonSwimming that some very patient urbanists and philosophers endured on Friday, at a wonderful 10th anniversary meeting of the Philosophy of the City Research Group at Brooklyn College. This might be the weirdest take on a classic marathon swim: urban swimming as flâneury!

If it's marketed as "flushable" safe bet is it's really not, at all ... 🙄 #UrbanWater ##SwimDrinkFish #OurGreatLakes #WaterIsLife

I am thrilled and honoured to announce that I have been appointed as the next Director of the Water: Effective Technologies and Tools (WETT) Research Centre at #RMITUniversity (starting from the end of January, 2023).

I look forward to building on the excellent prior leadership of Prof. Jega Jegatheesan and previously, Prof. Felicity Roddick and to working with current and future members of the #WETTResearchCentre to expand and further strengthen our research, innovation and translation in water science, engineering and technologies at #RMIT.

I look forward also to working collaboratively with water industry partners and stakeholders (including Aboriginal Traditional Owners) to provide sustainable solutions for water management and usage and to protect our natural waterways, bays and seas.

#Water is a basic nutrient essential for survival, but also a source of recreation and myths. Tomorrow, the conference #UrbanWaterII will start at the #KielerKunsthalle, dealing with the question of how urban actors in the #premodern era perceived their environment in connection with water and interacted with it: https://www.cluster-roots.uni-kiel.de/en/calendar-events/conferences-workshops/urban-water-conference

By 2050 projections have 80% of the roughly 10 billion people on earth living in urban regions. Global average temperatures are likely to be 2-3 degrees C above pre-industrial levels and extreme conditions may render swathes of the planet effectively uninhabitable. #UrbanWater scarcity will be rampant. Read Jay Famiglietti from 2019 on the troubling geography of global water scarcity:
