Water is elemental, life-giving and sustaining. It is ours to drink, ours to play in, to grow with, to build on. Water is more fundamental than any other substance on Earth: You can live three weeks without food, but without water you’ll be dead in three days.
This new book is a vivid collection of essays by some of the world’s most powerful thought leaders, activists and luminaries who reveal that perhaps the single biggest threat to human rights, economic justice and even human life and civilisation itself may be something as elemental as water.
It flows out of our taps easily enough that we rarely give it a second thought, but we ignore it at our peril!
