In water management, we have to think about all those involved, communities, scientists, technology, and of course, the ecosystems that play an essential role on a small or large scale. During the second season's first episode conversation, we discuss Water Beyond Boundaries broadly and the main goals of this initiative. One of the pillars of the Water Beyond Boundaries initiative is natural ecosystems. In this episode, we will talk with our guest Max Stevenson, Streamkeeper from The Solano County Water Agency in California, about protecting those parts of our natural ecosystems, like the Chinook Salmon and the Putah creek's history, and its connection with Water Beyond Boundaries.

Adopting a single water narrative may lead to misinterpreting specific local challenges or denying how water is transferred through products or economic or physical connections across scales. We present how current water management approaches consider natural and social processes beyond boundaries and further explore the concept of water teleconnections with case studies from Colombia. In this episode: Claudia Coleoni, a Research Associate at SEI Latin America, discusses how local water goes global and the concept of Teleconnections in water management.

El acceso al agua es el mayor riesgo para la prosperidad mundial y para abordar los ODS. Los sectores involucrados enfrentan múltiples desafíos con respecto a la gestión del agua. La iniciativa Water Beyond Boundaries o Agua sin Límites del Stockholm Environment Institute busca transformar el proceso actual de toma de decisiones alrededor de la gestión del agua para responder a estos retos con sectores como la agricultura, gobernanza, ciencia, negocios, tecnología tanto de manera local como global. En este primer episodio de la segunda temporada de nuestro podcast tenemos como invitadas a Marisa Escobar, Directora del Programa de Agua en SEI US, con sede en la oficina de Davis, California. Su trabajo se centra en la creación de vínculos entre los procesos físicos y los sistemas socio-ecológicos y Tania Santos, investigadora en SEI Latinoamérica, con sede en Bogotá, Colombia y que cuenta con más de 12 años de experiencia trabajando en gestión integrada del agua con instituciones locales, regionales y nacionales en Colombia. Las invitadas nos explican los avances de esta gran iniciativa cómo el agua local se debe ver y gerenciar de manera globalizada, es decir, más allá de las frontera.

World Water Day began in 1993 and since then has been an annual United Nations Observance focusing on the importance of water. World Water Day celebrates water and raises awareness for people living without safe water or access to water. The core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 6, which is: Clean water and sanitation for all by 2030. The central theme this year is Groundwater: Making The Invisible Visible. In this episode, our guests are Chuck Young and Vishal Mehta. They are scientists from the Stockholm Environment Institute with vast experience in sustainable water management and share their insights and honor World Water Day 2022.
