The Coming Water Crisis

About this episode

The episode discusses the global water crisis and its implications, featuring insights from Paul O'Callaghan of BlueTech Research.

Forget oil. The real fight is over the world's most precious and least understood commodity; water. We're joined by Paul O'Callaghan of BlueTech Research to explain why two billion people still can't get safe drinking water, why Saudi Arabia is quietly draining Colorado, and why Ireland's biggest strategic advantage might just be the rain we love to complain about.
