Cabot Conversations: Water
This week's episode of Cabot Conversations features Dr Gemma Coxon and Dr Ross Woods who highlight some surprising facts about the water system (we certainly have learned something new!), and how nature-based solutions to drought and floods may not serve the purpose we want, especially if implemented without sufficient prior research. Illustrator Cai Burton creates a beautiful piece of art whilst listening to this conversation on Bristol’s Harbourside. Join Gemma, Ross and Cai for a relaxing eye-opening discussion on water and climate change.
