‘The water-energy-climate cycle: from vicious to virtuous?’ A talk by Professor David Butler

We all rely on our water supply. Although the water industry was previously able to track changes in rainfall to give an indication of future rainfall,?the effects of climate change now make this more difficult. The future will be different.

How far ahead should we plan? Should individuals change their behaviour with regard to water use?

We invite you to consider these questions and more at the forthcoming NEXUS-Science talk by Professor David Butler?on Wednesday 29 November at 13:00.

Professor Butler?will outline the water-energy-climate cycle and explain the various elements that make up a ‘vicious’ cycle. These include considering the water implications of energy generation; and the energy/greenhouse gas implications of providing water services. He will also discuss ‘virtuous’ interventions for water and energy savings that could be adopted from home users of domestic appliances, from buildings and potentially from whole cities. The talk will be illustrated with recent research findings.

Professor Butler has over 30 years’ experience as an internationally-leading researcher, teacher and consultant in the water sector. He specialises in urban water management, including sustainable and resilient water systems; integration and control; and water-energy-carbon interactions. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and co-director of the Centre for Water Systems at Exeter University.

Full details and the programme are on Nexus Science website.
