Today on Far Future Horizons we present the second episode of a
breathtaking documentary series titled the Human Planet that explores how
humans have learned to adapt to life in desert environments.
Human Planet is an eight part British television
documentary series produced by the BBC with co-production from Discovery and
BBC Worldwide.
We can survive
for weeks without food, but only days without water: it is the essential
element of life. Yet many millions of us live in parched deserts around the
world. In the second episode of Human Planet, we discover how the eternal quest
for water brings huge challenges – and ingenious solutions – in the driest
places on Earth.
