Susanne Götze: How we live when water becomes scarce

Cooperation event of the VHS, the Radolfzell City Library and the Radolfzell Partnership for Democracy.

Two thirds of the earth is covered with water – but only three percent of it is fresh water. In many regions of the world, populations are shrinking rapidly. We will also experience water shortages in Germany.

Award-winning journalists Susanne Götze and Annika Joeres accompanied fictional protagonists into a near future for their book “Durstiges Land – wie wir leben, wenn das Wasser knapp wird”. They are an example of how we can live if we adapt to the consequences of water shortages in good time – or how we will suffer if we do not act.

The dramatic stories have a real background and are based on numerous studies and interviews with scientists. How we deal with the water crisis will have a decisive impact on our everyday lives. Susanne Götze will talk about this in Radolfzell and discuss it with the audience.
