The Stream (with Will & Tom)

Rethinking California's water strategy with Mohsen Mortada | The Stream on the road

Will Sarni & Tom Freyberg Season 4 Episode 15

In this special mini-season, before we kick off season 5, Will and Tom pack their bags and head to WEX Global 2022 in Valencia to chat with four special guests.  


This week is the final episode in this mini-series and Will & Tom are joined by the fantastic Mohsen Mortada of IBI Group.


Mortada talks about implementing the 'one water' approach at the Californian metropolitan water district, an over 100-year-old organisation that Mortada is looking to prepare for the next century. 


Plus hear about:

  • Is it sexier to be an investment banker or a bitcoin trader?
  • The best ways to attract young talent using sustainability
  • Changing the image of the utility sector and the importance of developing their communications
  • And his take on people choosing not to be informed about climate change. 


Plus, Mortada opens up about having a heated debate with his next-door neighbour about using recycled water and his own civil disobedience...
