Water is the most essential element for life. Where there is no water, life just disappears. In the current exploration of the universe, when we are searching for any kind of life form, we tend first to look for water. And we know that past civilizations have collapsed from poor water management and drought. But despite the undeniable paramount nature of water, we tend to deal with it in either a cavalier or in an outright reprehensible manner….. and either mindset will lead us to certain future wars unless we reprioritize its value immediately. That is what Blue Gold: World Water Wars is all about. Highlighting the entering of water into the global marketplace and the political arena, it urges us to think about what is happening, and raises our awareness that a global water crisis is imminent.
