Week Four — July 15–21, 2012

Water Matters

In partnership with National Geographic Society

Water’s importance to life on Earth cannot be overstated: without it, there is none. We are drawn to water also for its simple beauty — the red rays of a setting sun over the sea, snowfall in the glow of streetlights, a river cascading down the face of a cliff, morning fog on Chautauqua Lake. However, much of humanity knows not to take water for granted. This week, join National Geographic at Chautauqua to explore our world of water, locally and globally, from availability, conservation and health concerns to consideration of all living matter, with whom we share this essential, apparently limitless yet ultimately limited resource.
