Waterproof: Global stories of water resilience
Water shapes our world. From the food we grow to the cities we live in. Yet rising sea levels, droughts, flooding, pollution and water scarcity are putting increasing pressure on communities across the globe. How can we respond to these challenges in a way that is sustainable, inclusive and future-proof?
In the podcast series Waterproof, Partners for Water explores these urgent questions through conversations with water experts, researchers, policymakers and local changemakers from around the world. Hosted by journalist and water expert Tracy Metz, the series offers a thoughtful and engaging look at how innovative water solutions are being developed, and what we can learn from them.
Stories from the frontlines of water resilience
Each episode of Waterproof focuses on a different theme within the global water landscape. Listeners are taken on a journey from coastal regions and river deltas to urban environments and rural farmlands, where water challenges are deeply connected to climate change, biodiversity, food security and social equity.
Rather than offering abstract theory, the podcast highlights real-world experiences and practical solutions. Topics include nature-based approaches to water management, dealing with salinisation in agriculture, maintaining water infrastructure, the role of local communities, and the importance of indigenous knowledge alongside scientific expertise.
What makes Waterproof stand out is its emphasis on collaboration, showing how partnerships between governments, local organisations, businesses and communities are essential for creating lasting impact.
