Water cycle restoration: Where does rain come from, and how do we bring it back?
Rain is not a given, but the result of complex relationships between land surface and atmospheric processes. Many regions around the world are seeing these relationships break down due to land-use change and climate warming. In this session, we will explore the interactions between surface processes and rainfall and introduce emerging technologies for atmospheric moisture enhancement, asking whether we can actively support the restoration of natural water cycles. It lays the groundwork for the water cycle restoration workshop on Wednesday.
