This talk is a plea to all hydrologists and water professionals, to stand up for water, hydrology and water resource engineering, to restore their good name and unmask the demagoguery hiding behind the various 'green' slogans. Their profession has nothing to be ashamed of - from the times of the ancient Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome to the present, it has done more good for mankind than all its critics combined. This is a historical fact. So, hydrologists and water professionals, need to be brave, proud, heretic if necessary, and above all, to use their common sense. |
