Bay Currents - Talks on Bay Area nature and environmental issues, emphasizing positive solutions
 
Refreshments 7 PM, talks begin promptly at 7:30. FREE!

Turn on your faucet and clean water pours out. Pull the drain plug and dirty water disappears. Professor David Sedlak, author of the new book "Water 4.0," outlines the three revolutions that brought us this undervalued wonder, and the re-invention needed to give the Bay Area --and civilization --safe, drought-proof water systems friendly to nature and vibrant urban life.

Dynamic and engaging, Professor Sedlak directs UC Berkeley's Institute for Environmental Science and Engineering, co-directs the Berkeley Water Center, and is deputy director of the National Science Foundation’s research center for Reinventing the Nation’s Urban Water Infrastructure.
