Welcome to The Water Table: a space where science meets society through the lens of water. This site explores the complex relationships between groundwater, climate change, and hydrological systems, and inspires to be a sort of roundtable for dialogue on the future of water in a changing world.

Named after the invisible boundary beneath our feet – and inspired by the idea of an open, shared conversation – The Water Table brings together research, fieldwork, and data-driven storytelling. Rooted in my background as a hydrogeologist and climate scientist, this site connects the technical with the tangible, translating complex systems into meaningful insights.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Articles on karst systems, snowmelt, recharge, and drought
  • Reflections on climate-driven changes in water availability
  • Highlights from research across the Globe
  • Resources for students, scientists, and water-curious minds
  • A platform to discuss resilience, sustainability, and science-based water management

Whether you’re here to learn, explore, or collaborate: you’re invited to pull up a seat.

Because water doesn’t just flow, it connects.
And this is where the conversation begins.

Grounded in Science,

Driven by Water


In The Wizard and the Prophet, Charles Mann introduces two contrasting visions for the planet’s future: the Wizards, who trust in technology and innovation, and the Prophets, who call for restraint and harmony with nature. But there’s a third, often overlooked figure: the Ostrich. Ostriches respond to the climate crisis with denial or avoidance, choosing inaction over difficult choices. Unlike Wizards or Prophets, they offer no vision at all.

But the climate won’t wait.
Change starts not with certainty, but with conversation.

So, who are you?
And who are you talking to about it?
