    Remote Indigenous Communities, Water and Mental Health: With Professor Pamela Katic

    In this episode of Riverside Chats, Quentin catches up with a former colleague of his, Dr Pamela Katic. Pamela is the Associate Professor in Economics at the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Greenwich. Pamela has travelled extensively, conducting field research in remote locations within the Amazon and in Yukon, Canada. In their chat by the river Thames in London, Pamela discussed the complex water security issues facing remote Indigenous communities, as well as their unique perspectives on the connection between the natural environment and mental health. Pamela also discusses some of the pitfalls of current irrigation technologies and practices and how they can become more effective if we better understand the broader ecosystems that they’re operating within.

  2. Conflicting Mandates, Self Interest and Dogma - The Problem with Global Institutions: With Asit Biswas and Cecilia Tortajada

    15 APR

    Conflicting Mandates, Self Interest and Dogma - The Problem with Global Institutions: With Asit Biswas and Cecilia Tortajada

    Quentin Grafton is in Glasgow, Scotland, catching up with two prominent academics within the water space, Professor Cecilia Tortajada and Professor Asit Biswas. Professor Tortajada is from the School of Social and Environmental Sustainability at the University of Glasgow, she is a member of the OECD Initiative on Water Governance and has twice received the Research Excellence Award from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Professor Biswas, a ‘Distinguished Visiting Professor,’ also from the University of Glasgow, has served as a senior public official in Canada, where he received the “Person of the Year” award from the Canadian Prime Minister. Cecilia and Asit discuss the challenges of international and domestic institutions and why inefficient practices still prevail despite not delivering results. They highlight the importance of pragmatism over dogma, separating clashing mandates within institutions to create a system of checks and balances, creating models to fit reality rather than fitting reality into the ‘model’ and for policy makers in offices to experience the reality of the field for themselves.

    The Water Crisis Is The Climate Crisis: With Professor David Hannah

    On today’s episode of Riverside Chats, Quentin Grafton speaks with David Hannah, who is a Professor of Hydrology at the University of Birmingham. Professor Hannah is also the Director of the Birmingham Institute for Sustainability and Climate Action and he holds a UNESCO chair in water science. David’s work aims to understand how the water cycle works, how it’s evolving as a result of a changing climate and then using that knowledge to drive meaningful change. David describes how global warming speeds up the global water cycle, which leads to more extreme floods and droughts. He also discusses his fascinating field work in the Himalayas, blending local knowledge and new technologies to help local populations adapt to their evolving natural environment.

    The Story of Australia's 2022 Floods

    This episode of the Water Justice Podcast is a collection of stories, recounting events from around regional Australia which received flooding throughout the Murray Darling Basin across 2022 and into 2023. New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia experienced severe flooding in the late spring months in a La Nina event. Recorded at the end of the 2023-2023 Australian summer, five people from different areas along the flooded regions provide their stories from this tragedy. These stories cover how floods have impacted them and their communities as well as their thoughts on how we can learn from these events. Australia's flooding can be a contentious topic and these experiences don't necessarily reflect the thoughts of the Water Justice Hub, but they do account for how people are left feeling in the wake of a disaster like this. Guests Prue Milgate: Agri-industry advocate, Grain and Livestock Farmer in Serpentine, who received flooding downstream from the Loddon River Simone Bailey: Mayor of the Mid Murray council, an area that received flooding from the Murray River Dallas Tout: Mayor of Wagga Wagga, which received flooding from the Murrumbidgee River Bill Twigg: Regenerative Agricultural Sheep Farmer who received flooding from the Loddon River Paul Haw: First Nations Cultural Heritage Museum caretaker and Local to Boort, a lakeside town that received flooding from the Loddon River This Podcast is hosted by Kat Taylor and Produced by Tim Whiffen of Whimsy Productions for Quentin Grafton, Convenor of the Water Justice Hub, UNESCO Chair in Water Economics and Transboundary Water Governance at the Australian National University.
