Liquid Assets

Mark Felstead

Welcome to Liquid Assets - a show with Mark Felstead where we talk to some of the world's leading minds on how to fix one of the world's biggest problems…making clean water available to everyone the world over. Water is more than a necessity; it's life itself. Despite our beautiful planet being covered in over 70% water, over 96% of this is salt water, leaving only a fraction for billions worldwide to drink. In fact, only a tiny fraction runs through our rivers, lakes and streams So you would think we would do everything possible to keep them clean, right? In Liquid Assets we will be talking to innovators, movers and shakers at the forefront of doing exactly that.
