The Value of Water

This interactive discussion session invites participants into an open space to debate the value of water from different perspectives.

This interactive discussion session invites participants into an open space to debate the value of water from different perspectives. To get the discussion going, we will first hear from experts in a variety of fields, including engineering, economics, and anthropology. Then, working in groups supported by our expert speakers, participants will be given a series of prompts to guide debate about the value of water. Together, we will consider: Whether, how and why do we value water? For whom – or what – might water hold value? How might different valuations of water support different kinds of actions towards water? The goal is not to settle on a single value, but to explore the many possible ways of thinking about and relating to water
