Episode 10: The true cost of water

💧 The True Cost of Water | Water Matters Podcast 🌍

What does water really cost us — when there’s not enough of it… and when there’s far too much?

In this episode of Water Matters, host Matt Rolph sits down with author and environmental journalist Tim Smedley to explore the ideas behind Tim’s powerful article, “The True Cost of Water.” This isn't just about rising bills — it's about the rising toll that droughts, floods, and a changing climate are having on our homes, our infrastructure, and our future.

 

💡 Key topics include:

•Why droughts and floods are two sides of the same coin

•The science behind heavier rainfall and water scarcity

•The impact of climate change on the global water cycle

•Why our current systems are no longer fit for purpose

•Nature-based solutions like rewilded rivers, aquifers, and even beavers

•What YOU can do at home to make a difference

 

🔍 Whether you’re a water professional, a concerned citizen, or just curious — this conversation will change the way you think about what water is really worth.
