SUMMARY:Lakes: A Critical Missing Link in the Global Water Debate
DESCRIPTION:
 This is a free public lecture featuring Dr. Masahisa 
 Nakamura, a professor from Shiga University 
 in Japan and Director of the Scientific 
 Committee and International Lake Environment 
 Committee. \n
 \n
 Lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, 
 ponds and other pooled water make up more than 
 90% of the\n
 readily available fresh water reserves 
 in the world. These water systems are 
 very sensitive and\n
 vulnerable to external disturbances 
 and need to be protected. However, 
 specific focus on these\n
 water systems has 
 been minimal in the prevailing global water debates.\n\n
