regard to water: How will water be appropriated to citizens and
industries within a country? How can water comsumption be regulated
between nations? Who will regulate water consumption internationally?
Who are the principle victims of water scarcity and poor sanitation?
What technologies can be developed to improve water quality and
sanitation? These questions, and others, will be addressed in a 4-part
