Due to climate change, water is seeping inexorably into our surroundings, our awareness and our agendas. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Netherlands. Today, the Dutch are discovering that both the safety and the quality of the urban and natural environment demand a radical shift in their centuries-old defense strategy. Join American-born journalist and author Tracy Metz for a look at her new book, Sweet & Salt: Water and the Dutch, where she reveals how the Netherlands has become a laboratory for innovative water solutions.
