In this issue: essays about the ocean and the inter-connected cycles of water; arguments for invention; profiles of modern solutions toward a new hydraulic society; questions and answers to fundamental fresh water issues; the reality of consequences if we fail to act in time; and ideas for a new relationship built around fresh water and the ocean toward new modes of living that are within our grasp.
