Information Changes Everything

In this episode of "Information Changes Everything", we hear from Jon Allan, Senior Academic and Research Program Officer at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability. Allan challenges the perception of water as an infinite resource, explaining that while the total amount of water remains constant, its usability varies based on its state and location. He discusses the complexities of water management, including decentralized decision-making and the importance of evidence-based policies. Allan also highlights technological opportunities like data analysis and innovation to address water issues and emphasizes the role of storytelling and social cohesion in promoting effective conservation efforts.
