It seems that water does not satisfy the Europeans. Our infrastructure is often built in a way that tries to get rid of rainwater as quickly as possible. However, when the rain does not fall, drought rears its head.
Over the past decades and in many regions, Rainfall has steadily decreased And we don't seem to have a good solution for that. While we expect water to be readily available; On our shores and in our cups, most of us are unwilling to accede to its demands.
To understand our relationship with water, We must go beyond the tap. That is, at least, if we have privileged access to water. In this episode we talk about water solutions, people and wildlife, and the cities of the future.
