Global Challenges
● Risk Assessment (Data Management)
![Page 13: IAHR International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c24648bb61eb53228b460e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Challenges for our Community• Security of clean water supply will become increasing
global challenge over next 30 years as population grows by 50%
• Growing global concern about water quality in rivers, estuaries, coastal and oceanic basins
• Growing concern about floods and droughts, groundwater and agriculture food security
• New fields of interest emerging:- eco-system services, renewable energy; risk assessment
