Promoting ‘possibilism’ as the way to a secure water future

A Water Vlog, with Phil Alsop, Editor of Water Magazine

Michael Pawlyn, an expert architect and founder of exploration, worked alongside Affinity Water to help produce their customer guidebook titled ‘The Water Saving House of the Future’.

In this Water Vlog, he discusses the need for all water industry stakeholders to embrace water usage efficiency, set against a background where demand could outstrip supply by the early 2030s. Michael describes himself as neither an optimist nor pessimist, but a possibilist who believes that both businesses and individual citizens need to think about how they can shape the future – there is time to make a difference.
