Water is life. It is crucial to survival, a successful civilization, and the ability to make energy in our modern era. These two fundamental components are interconnected: when one is in short supply the other will be vulnerable. Adapted from
Dr. Michael E. Webber’s book, Thirst For Power traces the history and importance of sanitary water and waste water delivery originating in the Roman Empire, and explores our dependence on water for energy as well as the huge vulnerabilities in our current systems, exacerbated by climate change. Anecdotes, personal stories and insights into the latest science of energy and water identify a hopeful path towards wise, long-range decisions and a more reliable and secure future.
