Prof. Malin Falkenmark is a hydrologist. Hydrology is a field of study concerned with all matters regarding water on the Earth. The water she deals with is not only in rivers, lakes, or oceans. Water exists in the atmosphere and soil as well. As blood circulates in our body, water circulates on the Earth to support its life.
Prof. Falkenmark noticed ahead of others that poverty around the world, especially in developing countries, is deeply related to water. In the 50 years since then, she has conducted research hoping to solve water-related problems and raise awareness about the importance of water. Even at the age of 92, she is actively involved in research.
