Description
This episode, host Jay Famiglietti sits down with Gidon Bromberg, co-founder and Israeli Director of EcoPeace Middle East. Gidon comes from the most water-scarce region in the planet, where basic facts and science are so heavily politicized that it's hard to agree on them. He lays out the landscape of this conflict over water between Jordan, Israeli and Palestine people. Gidon explains how people who often view each other as enemies are working together to deal with their immediate needs, like getting sewage treated, and how scientists are cutting through the politics to address shared water issues.
