Description
Organised by Sir Brian Hoskins CBE FRS, Professor Steven Mithen FBA and Dr Emily Black
The availability and management of the water supply has been a key driver in human history ever since the time of the first settlement communities of the Neolithic. It continues to be so today, with anthropogenic climate change further exacerbating the existing water crisis on planet earth. This meeting will consider past, present and future relationships between water and society with a particular focus on the Middle East.
In partnership with the British Academy
