The Last Drop: Renowned environment journalist Tim Smedley comes to Alnwick Story Fest
We have joined forces in an exciting new partnership with What a Wonderful World Festival to bring campaigning eco-journalist to Alnwick. Tickets are selling out fast.
Alnwick Story Fest will join forces with What a Wonderful World Festival in an exciting new partnership to present the latest book by renowned environmental journalist Tim Smedley. Tim's book The Last Drop looks at the global water crisis, both shortages and excesses, and some encouraging future solutions.
When it comes to water scarcity, the last place on Earth you’d think of is rain-soaked England. Flooding is a growing problem in the UK, but strangely, the same forces that are driving the increase in torrential downpours are also driving water shortages both here and across the globe.
Tim has travelled the world talking to farmers, householders, engineers, and activists, and his book is packed with personal stories of the struggles faced by communities as rivers and aquifers dry up and glaciers retreat, but also of the ways people adapt and build resilience. Time and again, the most effective remedies are nature-based solutions rather than the large-scale dams and river diversion projects of the recent past.
