A journey into the future

The future of water is the future of humanity. Are we living in a century of droughts or floods? Or both? Access to water will have a profound impact on the global balance of power, the environment, and the balance between rich and poor. Water will determine war or peace and determine the development of countries and continents. Unlike other raw materials, water eludes total control.
Terje Tvedt seeks answers to these questions in 25 countries on every continent. He follows the course of the great rivers, visits gigantic hydraulic engineering projects such as the MOSE project in Venice, the Three Gorges Dam in China, and the world's largest underground ocean, and speaks with experts about their observations and predictions. He offers exciting accounts of the efforts of individual countries to address the challenges and find solutions for the future.
