Reliable supplies of water are threatened by scarcity, excess, wild fluctuations between these extremes, and pollution. In the Great Lakes region, some communities enjoy ample supplies and others do not, but they all face the "threat multiplier" of a rapidly changing climate. Dr. Kimberly Gray, chair of the civil and environmental engineering department at Northwestern University, discusses how nature-based strategies can aid in our adaptation to climate change and to a range of water issues.

Presented in partnership with the Glencoe Sustainability Task Force and the Friends of the Green Bay Trail.
