The Water Book:The Extraordinary Story of Our Most Ordinary Substance


 

How would you fathom a contrasting situation when one is fighting crises of water supply at home and a distant friend has gone shopping for a fishing gear to exploit the small stream flowing through his coffee farm? Enviable undoubtedly; what is 'fish out of water' for one is 'catch a fish' opportunity for the other. That is what water does under differing situations, perhaps a grim reminder on its undisputed value for human existence, and more importantly, for being human. We seem to value the universal liquid when it is in short supply, but do we understand it well?

Abstract


How would you fathom a contrasting situation when one is fighting crises of water supply at home and a distant friend has gone shopping for a fishing gear to exploit the small stream flowing through his coffee farm? Enviable undoubtedly; what is 'fish out of water' for one is 'catch a fish' opportunity for the other. That is what water does under differing situations, perhaps a grim reminder on its undisputed value for human existence, and more importantly, for being human. We seem to value the universal liquid when it is in short supply, but do we understand it well?
