The Future of Water
Ecolab joins GLOBE EU, Microsoft and others for a high-level conference on water scarcity
LOCATION: Room JAN6Q1, European Parliament, Brussels, Belgium
By 2030, we will need 40 percent more fresh water than what is available. But we cannot produce more water. All we have is here already.
