    • Abstract:
      Chapter 1 of the book "Thirsty Planet: Strategies for Sustainable Water Management" is presented. It focuses on the circulation of water in living beings and the entire ecosystems, facilitating in both the chemical communications that provide and sustain life. This is stated to be a natural process driven by solar energy which evaporates water from one part of the globe and transports it to other parts. The process reportedly causes plants to produce carbohydrates which is basic nutrition for most animals.
