Lakes: A Critical Missing Link in the Global Water Debate
(Conferences / Seminars / Lectures)
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.
Lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, ponds and other pooled water make up more than 90% of the
readily available fresh water reserves in the world. These water systems are very sensitive and
vulnerable to external disturbances and need to be protected. However, specific focus on these
water systems has been minimal in the prevailing global water debates.
