How do we handle something that is absolutely vital to us but also seems endless and ever-flowing? Traditional approaches to water conservation and management have had limited success in addressing the growing demand for this precious resource. So, what would happen if we treated water like any other commodity and allowed its price to increase?

Drupps attended Vitafoods in Geneva last week, which happened on May 14-16. Here are some of our takeaways.

In the face of global water scarcity, effective water value management becomes imperative. With water being a finite resource, the need for comprehensive management strategies is more urgent than ever.

Along with the rest of the European ceramics community, Drupps attended Ceramitec in Munich last week, which happened on April 9-12. Here are our takeaway notes.

Authorities in Bogotá, Colombia’s capital, announced on April 8th that residents would have to ration water as drought, fueled by El Niño, pushes reservoirs toward record lows. As global warming makes extreme weather such as heatwaves and drought more common and more severe, experts warn that the stress on cities’ water systems will only increase.

In theory, reducing water scarcity should reduce conflict risk. Technical solutions that increase supply and decrease demand can mitigate competition that might otherwise increase the risk of conflict.
