Agua

Agua

historia, tecnología y futuro

Paniagua, Jesús M.

Where does the water come from? How do we humans use it? When did we learn to control it? How does it get to our taps and what happens next? What happens to her in China? And in Brazil? And in the United States? Have there been or are there armed conflicts over water?. Is there enough water for everyone? Is our supply in danger in the near future? We are all familiar with water. We all have taps, toilets and showers. We have all witnessed the flow of a river or the fall of rain from the sky. We have all heard of transfers and treatment plants. So we think we know everything we need to know about water. But is it really so? Adam Smith introduced us to the paradox of resource value: how water, vital to life, has negligible value compared to diamonds, which are barely useful but extremely expensive... It turns out that everything related to managing the Water is part of "the ins and outs of civilization": those invisible systems that we are unaware of and without which we cannot survive for even a week.
