#58 - Prof. Richard Luthy

In this podcast episode, Rhea and I were thankful to engage with Prof. Richard Luthy, a renowned ocean engineer, @US Nav Navy submersible pilot, and chemical engineering PhD from University of California, Berkeley, now teaching Civil Engineering at Stanford University. With water scarcity as a central topic, Prof. Luthy elaborated on the indispensable role of stormwater capture and reuse. He emphasized the importance of collaborative, multidisciplinary approaches in water management, advocating for reform in both urban and rural sectors regarding water rights and agricultural practices. His discussion highlighted the need to leave more water for ecosystems, urging us to recognize and acknowledge our collective responsibility in this issue. One of the profound quotes that Rhea and I gleaned from this conversation is, "We are all part of the problem, we are all part of the solution”
