Water scarcity and water management | Escasez de agua y gestión hídrica

Project by Andrea Eyquem (Bachelor in Physical Anthropology, University of Chile), Akuhata Bailey-Winiata (Master of Science (Earth Science) Honours, First Class, The University of Waikato), Isabella Ciocca (Master in Regional Science, University of Concepción), Chris Lijzenga (Master in Sustainable Entrepreneurship, University of Groninger)​

A thought leadership piece written by this group was born from the participants' concern of the state of water management and the effects that climate change was having on natural cycles. To help them figure out a path forward, they spoke to experts from industry, climate science, and indigenous groups across both New Zealand and Chile. They found that Indigenous perspectives could bring a new light to help with the current water crisis, as their values regarding water and nature aligned strongly with emerging science and industry practice around regeneration and sustainability.

The written piece will be live on the Asia-Pacific Insights platform in early 2022.
