Luke Wilson (Bowdoin '06), Deputy Director of The Center for Water Security and Cooperation, will discuss water's complex interrelationships, the human race's complicated relationship with water and the delicate balance we have struck between the two. With examples ranging from Syria to India and Africa, the talk will make broader connections to how overuse is straining the ability of the world to provide sufficient water for economic and human security and triggering political instability.  The talk will also discuss some of the legal mechanisms that have been tried and why they failed or succeeded in managing these conflicts.
