    [synopsis] => The book is in the vein of sketching out the characteristics of the "water planet" while taking a different look at the whole. Instead of addressing only one particular aspect (scientific-technological or social, for example), we preferred to consider all the links that water maintains with man and society, then outlining a series of "journeys ", each corresponding to each of the seven chapters that form the structure of the scripture. Very briefly, these different and complementary points of view can be summarized in this sketch: The indissoluble link between water and life, from the Universe to our Planet via the biosphere and our cells. The chemical and physical properties of water, what they depend on and what influences they have in defining the importance of this molecule. Water-related phenomena such as the water cycle, geology, types of water and everything related to the morphology of planet Earth. What uses, how much consumption and treatments are related to water to understand the number, purposes and quality of water used. What are the social aspects related to water from historical, economic and political aspects to all forms of artistic expression and daily life. How we tackle water through pollution of all kinds, the problem of global warming, and the waste linked to today's society. The notion of the right to water, the scarcity of water resources with the inequalities associated with it, the confrontation-shock between market vision and essential human rights. The beginning and the end of the book constitute the central themes around which all the arguments unfold. The link to life and the right to water are two sides of the same coin which will lead to very precise and detailed conclusions, such as the awareness of a new model of sustainable development, the actions necessary to tackling global issues such as pollution, global warming and water scarcity, and the belief that rights and life are more important and necessary than purely economic issues.
