This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The Water Brothers TEDx Crescent School June 20, 2014

Alex and Tyler Mifflin are the creators and hosts of the award winning travel-adventure documentary series, The Water Brothers. Over the past four years Alex and Tyler have travelled all around the globe, from the highest peak in Africa, to the the bottom of the Ocean, exploring some of the most important water challenges we face in the world today.

We can learn quite a bit from ancient civilizations about the importance of water technology and management to a functioning society. If we fail to fully respect these lessons and the looming threat of rising populations and climate change to water systems today, we risk the collapse of our own global civilization.”

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
