Using Other People’s Water

BBC World Service - The Forum, Using Other People’s Water

What can we do to maintain and cherish our essential resource of fresh water?

Bridget Kendal is joined by Professor in Water Management Arjen Hoekstra to discuss the idea that we urgently need to change industrial and agricultural practices to reduce our water footprint and avert a global crisis. Esther de Jong specialises in water usage in the developing world.  She believes water use and gender are closely related.  Also joining the discussion is scientific diver Henry Kaiser who is inspired by waters beneath Antarctica to create haunting soundscapes.
