Liquid Dynamics: Rethinking Sustainability in Water and Sanitation @ World Water Week

In Stockholm for World Water Week ? World Water Week

Please join the STEPS Centre’s water team led by Dr Lyla Mehta for lunchtime coffee and cake, straight after the Closing Plenary on Friday 21st August.

We will be examining the concept of ‘liquid dynamics’ – often neglected patterns of complexity and interaction between the social, technological and ecological dimensions of water and sanitation. Presentations and discussions will draw on research in peri-urban areas and community-led total sanitation to address how alternative pathways can lead to pro-poor sustainability and social justice in relation to water and sanitation.
