Reader in Systems Analysis and policy at the center for environmental policy of Imperial College London
Overview
This presentation reviews the root causes of Iran’s water problems together with some of the wrong beliefs that shape the common knowledge about Iran’s water resources problems. It is argued that developing a common narrative about the problem and its root causes is essential to solving this problem. Thus, in the absence of accurate information and better understanding of the complexities of Iran’s water management system any move to develop solutions would be subject to failure or would be associated with unintended consequences.
Target Audience
All students and enthusiasts are invited to attend this lecture.
