The 2022 "World Water Week" Forum was held in Stockholm, Sweden from August 23 to September 1. This forum has attracted the participation of top scientists, UN experts, community groups, entrepreneurs, politicians, etc. This year's "World Water Week" forum provides more than 300 online and offline theme meetings about "value of water" to help everyone pay attention to the value of water from multiple angles.

Brussat is an honorary professor of engineering at the University of Cornell University in the United States. It is mainly engaged in the research of water literature and distribution. It was rated as the 2022 Stockholm Water Awards winner for its pioneering work in quantitative environment evaporation.

Wilfrid Brussat, Honorary Professor of Engineering, Cornell University: Since ancient times, humans have been measured rainfall. We have long -term rainfall records, and humans have also measured the water flow of the river. For hundreds of years, China has the water flow of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, but there are still invisible water. The water we can't see is the changes in the storage of water and groundwater that evaporate.

Recently, high temperature and drought in many countries have attracted widespread attention. The World Meteorological Organization predicts that due to climate change caused by human activities, high temperature weather in the future may become a common phenomenon. Professor Brussat said that governments of various countries should increase their efforts to protect water resources and minimize the impact of drought on production and life.

Wilfrid Brussat, Honorary Professor of Engineering, Cornell University: Governments from all over the world should maintain their environmental protection institutions and protect the number of available water resources. We must overcome the resistance of the industry or individuals to maintain and improve The quality of groundwater and lake water storage.
