World Water Week kicks off in Stockholm

STOCKHOLM -- A week-long conference on the impact of lacking water resources around the world began in Stockholm Monday with calls for radical changes in behaviour and mentality when it comes to water usage. “We’ve had a luxurious lifestyle during the last 25 years, not caring at all about the environment. It’s necessary to change the way people consume, buy, eat,” said British professor John Anthony Allan, winner of the 2008 Stockholm Water Prize.

The annual World Water Week, which has gathered some 2,500 experts in the Swedish capital, is focused this year on how lacking water supply impacts sanitation and hygiene.
