<strong>2016</strong> Stockholm <strong>Water</strong> Prize symposium: Pollution or prosperity?<br />
Convenors: Royal Swedish Academy of Science and SIWI<br />
The Stockholm <strong>Water</strong> Prize Symposium in the presence and honour of H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf gathers Laureates, influential experts<br />
