_Global water issues call on humanities and social science research
_
Solving the issues involved in providing enough clean water for the world
calls on a wide spectrum of research and expertise. “Access to water engages
issues of politics, economics, and public health, and in many cases these
kinds  of problems are more challenging than the technical ones,” says
Harriet Ritvo, the Arthur J. Conner Professor of History. As President
Hockfield writes in the current issue of MIT Spectrum, the challenge to
secure enough clean water for the world is "a challenge perfectly suited to
the fluid interdisciplinary strengths of MIT."
