    Season 2 Community-based Wetlands Management In The Lower Songkhram River Basin In Thailand

    The Songkhram River in northeast Thailand is a tributary of the Mekong River, an important river in Asia. It provides essential habitat for more than 180 species of fish, with at least 58 species migrating between the basin and the Mekong River.  The community members around the basin primarily work in fishing and floodplain agriculture, including rice cultivation and livestock, representing a sustainable economy within the communities. Today our guest is Thanapon Piman, a Senior Research Fellow with SEI Asia. He has more than 15 years of academic and professional experience in hydrology, water resources planning and modeling, sustainable irrigation and hydropower development, and climate change adaptation. In this episode, we discussed the Stockholm Environment Institute Initiative Water Beyond Boundaries and the community-based ecosystems in Thailand's lower Songkhram River basin.

    Season 2 The Chinook Salmon, Putah Creek and Water Beyond Boundaries

    In water management, we have to think about all those involved, communities, scientists, technology, and of course, the ecosystems that play an essential role on a small or large scale. During the second season's first episode conversation, we discuss Water Beyond Boundaries broadly and the main goals of this initiative. One of the pillars of the Water Beyond Boundaries initiative is natural ecosystems. In this episode, we will talk with our guest Max Stevenson, Streamkeeper from The Solano County Water Agency in California, about protecting those parts of our natural ecosystems, like the Chinook Salmon and the Putah creek's history, and its connection with Water Beyond Boundaries.

    Season 2 Exploring the Concept of Water Teleconnections

    Adopting a single water narrative may lead to misinterpreting specific local challenges or denying how water is transferred through products or economic or physical connections across scales. We present how current water management approaches consider natural and social processes beyond boundaries and further explore the concept of water teleconnections with case studies from Colombia. In this episode: Claudia Coleoni, a Research Associate at SEI Latin America, discusses how local water goes global and the concept of Teleconnections in water management.

    Season 2 Globalizando la gestión del agua con la iniciativa Water Beyond Boundaries

    El acceso al agua es el mayor riesgo para la prosperidad mundial y para abordar los ODS. Los sectores involucrados enfrentan múltiples desafíos con respecto a la gestión del agua. La iniciativa Water Beyond Boundaries o Agua sin Límites del Stockholm Environment Institute busca transformar el proceso actual de toma de decisiones alrededor de la gestión del agua para responder a estos retos con sectores como la agricultura, gobernanza, ciencia, negocios, tecnología tanto de manera local como global. En este primer episodio de la segunda temporada de nuestro podcast tenemos como invitadas a Marisa Escobar, Directora del Programa de Agua en SEI US, con sede en la oficina de Davis, California. Su trabajo se centra en la creación de vínculos entre los procesos físicos y los sistemas socio-ecológicos y Tania Santos, investigadora en SEI Latinoamérica, con sede en Bogotá, Colombia y que cuenta con más de 12 años de experiencia trabajando en gestión integrada del agua con instituciones locales, regionales y nacionales en Colombia. Las invitadas nos explican los avances de esta gran iniciativa cómo el agua local se debe ver y gerenciar de manera globalizada, es decir, más allá de las frontera.

    Especial: Mujeres y Agua: La importancia en la gestión del conocimiento basado en enfoque de género

    La gestión de conocimientos es fundamental para empoderar a las poblaciones, para que sean capaces de planificar y gestionar sus propias mejoras. En este ámbito, sin embargo, todavía es posible observar brechas de género. La participación de las mujeres en los procesos de formación, especialmente en ámbitos rurales suele ser escasa; aún hay diferencias en las percepciones sobre formadores mujeres y hombres y existen brechas para el acceso y participación de las mujeres en las capacitaciones, debido al escaso tiempo que deja el trabajo y la atención de las necesidades del hogar.  Estos y otros contextos son analizados por las cuatro invitadas de este último episodio de la serie Mujeres y Agua del Programa Bolivia WATCH del Instituto de Ambiente de Estocolmo SEI. Invitadas : Melina Balderrama - Coordinadora Nacional del Programa Bolivia WATCH Cristina Albarracín - Consultora del Programa / Especialista en calidad hídrica Valeria Burgos - Consultora del Programa / Especialista en género Blanca Vega - Consultora del Programa / Especialista en sistemas de Georreferenciación SIG Este episodio fue conducido y producido por nuestra colaboradora en Bolivia Estefanía Rada.
