The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University and Canon Solutions America come together to host a dynamic lecture by National Geographic Freshwater Fellow Sandra Postel. A world-renowned authority on the preservation and sustainable use of freshwater, Postel will shed light on how people’s demand for freshwater has led to the deterioration of water resources in many parts of the world. Postel will illuminate the “big picture” issues surrounding water, including the effects of climate change on water supply, groundwater depletion, water wars, and conservation. Postel directs the independent Global Water Policy Project and lectures, writes and consults on global water issues. She is co-creator of Change the Course, the national freshwater conservation and restoration initiative pioneered by National Geographic and its partners, which has restored billions of gallons of water to depleted rivers and wetlands.


The Academy Town Square series is made possible by Warren Environmental Counsel.
