What if our most precious resource was under threat? Water connects everything, bringing life to every corner of the planet - but what happens if we can't take it for granted?
The Earth is alive because of liquid water and the success of our human story is intimately connected to our relationship with this simple molecule. But the growth of our civilisations has created a dangerous dependence on a precious resource that may be about to run out.
This three-part series, narrated by US journalist Kelly Ann McEvers, crosses continents to speak to scientists, researchers and individuals impacted by changes in the supply of water, to explore just how critical water is to life and the challenges facing us.
