About this episode

This episode discusses the use of water in warfare and related environmental issues.

Water as a Weapon of War. That story and more on H2O Radio’s weekly news report. Headlines: Desalination plants are becoming targets in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran—by both sides. Oil-soaked “black rain” fell in Tehran, following airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel on oil depots. Researchers have found a way to create lithium by destroying “Forever Chemicals”—a win-win. Being called a “birdbrain” could now be a compliment.
