Geography is important because everything happens somewhere!
Every phenomenon on Earth has a unique relationship with place and geography links people,
place, processes (natural and man-made) and planet.

Challenge problem framing...
By thinking globally, but acting locally, we want to address the problems of:
• Too little water (water shortage, uneven distribution)
• Too much water (surface water flooding)
• Poor water quality (freshwater ecosystems, pollution, treatment
mechanisms)
• Ageing infrastructure (drainage, sewerage, flood protection
systems… which underpin a lot of these problems in urban areas in general)
• Behaviour (from individual water consumption attitudes, to commercial
activities, to overall management approach)
We need to know what water problems keep you awake
at night and are important to be solved?

Water Problem Defining:
Problem title
Can you give your problem a snappy 3-word title?
Who does the problem affect?
Where does it happen?
What is the problem?
Can you clearly and concisely explain what the problem is?
Why does it matter?
Can you quantify/substantiate why the problem is worth solving
