In this podcast, WRI Europe's Nicholas Walton interviews Raj Bhagat of WRI India's Bengaluru office about his research into the causes of Chennai's recent water problems. Delving deep into the history of the city, the monsoon cycle and local management, Bhagat identifies not only a need to invest in infrastructure but to protect people. Also includes a conversation with Rutger Hofste, an associate with WRI's Water program, about how the Aqueduct platform can help journalists, researchers and the public understand how water stress affects them.
