Show Notes

The U.S. government predicts that about 60 per cent of the Earth’s surface will not have enough water soon, but most people do not know the crisis. In Let There Be Water, Seth M. Siegel eloquently and masterfully details hundreds of hours of research on this pending epidemic to reveal that the solution lies with one country – Israel. The task that Israel has accomplished is astounding, especially considering that more than half of the country is made of the desert. Israel has such a large amount of water that every day they are pumping water to nearby countries Palestine and Jordan. What’s even more profound about Israel’s reliable water system and its absorbent amount of drinking water is what it took to get there. The way Israel created such cutting-edge water technology – beyond what any other country has created – is an amazing story all in itself. This book provides insight into how a country with so many challenges facing them was able to come out on top and create a system that could save the world. Let There Be Water is not only a vital resource for those interested in political science, global science and sustainability, but it’s also an essential title for companies and other organizations.
