[00:00:00]If you if you take a step back and and look at the beginning of civilization, like where where civilization thrived and where it started to grow, it was around water as both for agriculture, for commerce, for moving goods up and down rivers. Our greatest civilizations were on the greatest bodies of water.

[00:00:17]Now, today is that water is under more and more stress, um whether it's depleting glaciers or whether it's severe droughts or even floods. Um we have now a competition for water. And it's not just a fight between water, food, and energy, but it's also a challenge of how do we build new, we'll say, frameworks to manage that water so we don't fight over it.
