Six case studies show how young students and professionals are helping to solve the
growing problem of global overuse and abuse of Earth’s most precious and limited
resource: water. Despite being more than two-thirds covered by water, our planet has
only 1% of that in the form of fresh water that is easily available for human use. This
program explores both the positive and negative scientific and social implications of
global water use. Its worldwide, multicultural point of view and appealingly youthful
presentation, coupled with solid academic content, make it essential viewing for
middle-school science and social studies classrooms.
