Desalination
Adam Hart-Davis visits the SESAME x-ray project in Jordan, where Palestian works alongside Israeli, Cypriot alongside Turk, and Egyptian alongside Iranian.
Gareth Mitchell investigates whether or not desalination is the answer to global water shortages.
He visits water companies in Spain and the UK that are investing substantial sums of money in desalination technology, and also considers the views of critics of desalination, who cite the high levels of energy it requires and the waste caused by leaky pipes.
