The “Stop Drought! Start Retention!” Podcast is a five-episode series of conversations dedicated to the topics of drought, water retention, and climate change adaptation. We explore the everyday challenges posed by water scarcity—in cities, agriculture, gardens, forests, and through a scientific lens.
Our guests include professionals involved in water management, education, spatial planning, and nature conservation. In each episode, we seek answers to the question: what can we do—both on a micro scale and through systemic actions—to effectively combat the effects of drought?
The podcast is produced as part of a project co-financed by the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, and Environment for 2021-2027 (FEnIKS).
Tune in and stay updated with our upcoming conversations!
