The Overground wraps its series on shortages with dive into water. Only about 1 percent of the planet’s water is actually drinkable, and the number of thirsty people is only getting......bigger. University innovation to the rescue! With minimal heat new technology makes desalination possible using an elegant filter design. Come for the innovation, stay for the summary of the first act of Frozen, the polar sea currents and international scandal involving iceberg smuggling. It’s been a great series, gentle listeners.
