Earthwatch Debate: From Tsunami to Drought

Chaired by award winning broadcaster Andrea Catherwood.

A member of the public.

Our panel:

Three experts will be joined by an enterprising member of the public to present solutions to the looming crisis of access to water for drinking and sanitation. Our speakers will then be interrogated by a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style panel before you, the audience, cast the deciding vote.
