It addresses the major issues in what Tvedt calls the future “age of insecurity of water”, and shows why the world´s political leaders have repeatedly declared that safeguarding water is set to be one of most daunting challenges in the decades to come. Tvedt also examines how fear of climate change and the struggle to manage water will determine power structures, economic development, the relationship between rich and poor, and the destiny of countries and even whole continents. The three-part documentary is based on Tvedt´s many books on water-society issues.
