Why Most of Earth Has No Usable Water

Описание: Why do some regions of the world simply run out of water—while others thrive?

From shrinking reservoirs to cities built on borrowed rivers, water scarcity is quietly shaping where humans can and cannot live. In this documentary, we explore the hidden geography behind the global water crisis: ancient climates, overused aquifers, failing infrastructure, and the invisible limits that technology cannot overcome.

This is not a video about drought alone. It’s about why entire regions are becoming uninhabitable, why modern cities depend on fragile water systems, and why some landscapes were never meant to support permanent human settlement.

By examining real-world examples from arid basins, disappearing lakes, and overstressed watersheds, this video reveals how water—or the lack of it—defines civilization itself.

🌍 Topics covered:

Why water scarcity is increasing worldwide

How geography limits long-term settlement

The hidden cost of pumping, damming, and diverting water

Why technology can’t always solve natural constraints

What happens when cities outgrow their water supply

If you’re fascinated by geography, human limits, climate, and why almost no one lives in certain places, this is part of a larger series exploring the world’s most hostile landscapes.
