Exploring the challenges and solutions to water scarcity in Israel and Taiwan

Water scarcity is becoming a critical environmental issue worldwide.  The Asia Pacific Desk, in collaboration with the University of Haifa’s Friends Association in Taiwan, held a fascinating discussion with experts from UofH and the National Taiwan University (NTU) about water shortage challenges in Israel and Taiwan. More than 80 participants from across Israel and Asia tuned in to hear Dr. David Katz (Department of Geography and Environmental Studies) and Prof. Hong-Yuan Lee, former Minister of Taiwan Interior and NTU faculty. The panelists discussed how their countries are coping with increasing water consumption, environmental concerns and their impact on water supplies, technology advances to conserve water, and political and institutional challenges of operating a water economy.  Mr. CY Huang, President of the Friends Association in Taiwan, moderated the webinar. <<WATCH A RECORDING OF THE WEBINAR>>
