Opis

Global water consumption is doubling every 20 years, much faster than population growth. Water supplies, such as the huge Ogallala aquifer under the American mid-west, on which the country's grain basket depends, are drying up or being polluted, and international tensions around water are rising inexorably in many of the world's most volatile regions.
