What challenges motivate today’s water professionals?

In the first part of this seminar you will hear from – and interact with – experts who are dedicating their careers to solving water challenges. What are they working on right now, what are the future challenges within their fields, and what keeps these experts engaged and motivated in their day-to-day work?
