Will Sarni: Can We Tech Our Way Out of Wicked Water Problems?

Can we really "tech" our way out of freshwater shortages, scarcity, and pollution? In our Season 4 finale, we're asking the big question of the season – will new water technology be enough to solve wicked water problems? Will Sarni joins Jay for a look back at the bright ideas and inventions we've heard about this year, sharing his view on technology's ability to solve problems around water quality and scarcity. Jay and Will discuss what a "disruptor" like Uber could do for the water sector and what it will take to get the public sector to respond to innovation. And if you've ever wondered why piping water from a wet part of the country to areas hit by drought is a hot-button issue, you'll want to stick around for our last 'Ask Jay' segment of the season. Will Sarni is the CEO of Water Foundry and the founder and general partner of Water Foundry Ventures, a technology venture fund focused on addressing water scarcity, quality and equitable access to water. Will is a podcaster , an internationally recognized thought leader on water strategy and innovation, and the author of numerous books. You can check out his children's book, Water, I Wonder here .
