Synopsis: From where we live to what we eat, water plays a vital role in our survival. Since ancient times, water’s life-giving power has inspired people’s spiritual beliefs. It has influenced how humans migrated around the world. Recently, human ingenuity has taken water from a drinking source to an energy source, though not without consequences. As our population grows, cities expand and climate changes, what is the future of water? Innovations are making water equitable and accessible for all. Water warriors, determined to repair, protect and conserve water, are also shifting the mindset from humans needing water to water needing us. Making a Splash: How Humans Consume, Conserve and Care for Water looks at what has been done in the past and what can be done in the future to ensure the health and prosperity of our blue planet. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
