It’s the year 2099 and civilization has finally achieved global water sustainability.

In this positive era, water is a human right, properly valued, efficiently and productively used, extensively reused, and part of thriving ecosystems.

The path to this future is discussed in this episode with Peter Gleick, author of The Three Ages of Water and President Emeritus of the Pacific Institute.

He explains the fundamental choice made in the 2020s that led to a sustainable water world and how obstacles were overcome in politics, pricing, efficiency, energy, and agriculture.
