Charles Fishman is the author of The Big Thirst, One Giant Leap, A Curious Mind (with Brian Grazer), and The Wal-Mart Effect. He is a three-time winner of the Gerald Loeb Award, the most prestigious prize in business journalism, and we are lucky he joins us for an episode of the Jain Irrigation Training Series.
Fishman’s book, The Big Thirst, details how vital water management is to daily existence, and Fishman suggests usage patterns have become outdated and a renewed emphasis on innovation is needed.
Charles encourages all of us to rethink the way we use and value water. The Big Thirst is required reading for freshmen at over 125 colleges in the United States.
It’s been ten years since Charles published the book The Big Thirst, and he shares some insights on water and his book ten years later.
During this webinar, you will learn:
Why the next ten years will be the most intense and innovative period for water in history
Why everyone needs the best technology to manage water
How and why we need to improve the safety of our water supply
Why incentives are required to motivate people to conserve
How the solution right water, right place, right time works
What the The Big Thirst got right and where it missed
Special Guest: Charles Fishman.
